Igns Arts is a dance studio in Billerica, MA, that specializes in first dance lessons for weddings. Whether you're dreaming of or dreading your wedding dances, our teachers will help you create the perfect wedding dance moments. So, whether you dream of a giant blowout party, planned choreography, and a bespoke song or want simple moves to help calm your nerves and be in the moment together, we'll help you create the perfect dance to reflect your unique love story. You will learn to dance and make new friends through private lessons and access to our group classes and socials!
Your wedding day should be the happiest day of your life. Don't let first dance jitters cause you stress. Work with our teachers to feel comfortable and calm during your first dance! First dance lessons can also be a great way to do something fun and focus on each other. We love that many couples turn lesson nights and Ignis socials into date nights! At its core, dancing is about communicating with your partner. What better way to begin your marriage than learning to be dance partners?
From mother-son to father-daughter dances and more, Ignis will help you create the perfect family memories. While we all know how cool your dad's moves are, it is time to upgrade that 70's Swing and Sway. In the months leading up to the wedding, pause, dance, connect with your mom, and share in the love and nostalgia together. Making time to dance with your family before the special day is a beautiful way to share your joy and create cherished memories.
In Latin, ignis means fire or passion. Maretta and Nick created Ignis Arts to bring their fire and passion for ballroom and partner dancing to life. Three core values drive everything we do at Ignis.
We believe in a connection- and communication-centered approach to ballroom dancing. Partner dancing is a language, not just a skill set. Whether social dancing with a beginner or executing advanced patterns in a competition, dancers need to understand the fundamentals of connection and communication with their partner above all else.
We want to create a joy-filled community where every dancer feels comfortable and confident. Whether you are drawn to ballroom because it sparks your creative side, because you love the math and physics of movement, or a combination of both, you will find like-minded friends at Ignis. From the extrovert who loves the party scene to the introvert who enjoys the quiet connection between two dancers, we want Ignis to feel like home.
We want to create an artist-centered space. Whenever possible, we try to root our studio in the local dance and art ecosystem. We are grateful to the many artists and organizers who keep social dancing alive, and we want to do what we can to support these artists while contributing to a vibrant Boston social dance scene. Come wander our space and enjoy beautiful art and bonsai from local artists.

Nick transformed my daughter's wedding dance from a bad ‘70s swing n sway(pic1) into a memorable Rumba(pic2). For someone that my back against the wall being as close as I’d get to the dance floor, Nick’s knowledge, personality and teaching skills has helped me smash through that discomfort. Now 3 years plus from that memorable day with my daughter Kate, I’m still taking lessons with Nick. The community that has grown up around Ignis and the staff is welcoming, friendly and encouraging with the occasional shenanigans. Do yourself a favor, let Ignis and Nick enhance your wedding and have some fun along the way. We all know how stressful the planning can be, who knows you might be back for more fun!! PS, I've also rented the studio space for a private event!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Ignis Arts Ballroom Studio! My partner and I took wedding dance lessons here, and it was absolutely perfect. The instructors made us feel at ease from the start, tailoring the lessons to our skill level and helping us create a beautiful first dance. With unlimited group classes, we were able to practice as much as we wanted and really build our confidence. The studio’s warm, welcoming atmosphere made it a wonderful experience, and our dance turned out better than we could have imagined! We highly recommend Ignis Arts for anyone looking to make their wedding dance extra special.

The best decision we ever made when planning our wedding was trying Ignis for the first free dance lesson! Nick and his team are so friendly and personable, and really know their stuff. We were hooked after the first lesson, and were able to learn a beautiful dance for our first dance for our wedding, even though we both thought we had 2 left feet. We are so grateful that they were able to make our first dance elegant & smooth! We will definitely be back for more dance lessons after the wedding!!

I've learned how to dance at this studio in general. My main goal was to overcome my fear of getting on the dance floor. Not only did they show me a love for dancing, they also helped me gain the confidence that I never realized I was lacking. I transformed from a wallflower to a dancer who eagerly takes the floor as soon as the music starts. I'm grateful to my instructor Nick for supporting me through this journey over the years. Maretta has been the most encouraging presence that everyone needs, both on and off the dance floor. I couldn't have done it without them.
