The Ballroom of Huntington, Huntington

Amid the ballroom's dramatic red walls, professional rug cutters impart proper dance techniques, shepherding feet through wedding dance interludes and styles such as salsa, swing, waltz, and the fox trot during group and private lessons. Five primary curricula await pupils, who start off with classes from the basic introductory program before boogying on to the Associate Bronze, Bronze, Silver, and Gold programs. As classes progress, Bronze sessions get students comfortable and stylish on any dance floor, whereas Gold classes prep more advanced dancers for exhibitions and competitions. Event-specific classes are also available to prepare Sweet 16 guests of honor, aspiring brides and grooms, bar mitzvah attendees, and tiny plastic cake toppers for properly getting down on party floors.
