Planet Ballroom, Concord

Matthews Ballroom's studios offer a glimpse of a bygone era, when gentlemanly dancers whisked their partners across dance floors amid elegant decor and soft hanging lanterns. Professional dancers lead both personal and group classes within these rustic halls, guiding couples through the steps and proper techniques of social dances such as the waltz, tango, salsa, and swing. The seasoned instructors also conduct fitness-focused classes, leading teens and adults through energetic workouts. Every Friday night the studio opens to students for an evening of dancing and socializing. And throughout the month, instructors also invite dancers back for a variety of dinner-and-dancing events.
