Slow Waltz with John — A Beautiful Introduction to Dancing

Curious about ballroom dancing but not quite sure where to start? This welcoming Slow Waltz workshop with John is designed especially for people who want to ease into the ballroom world in a relaxed, supportive, and low-pressure environment.

Whether you’re coming with a partner, exploring dance together for the first time, or simply looking for a graceful and enjoyable way to connect through movement, Slow Waltz is one of the most timeless and approachable ballroom dances to learn.

What to expect
  • simple and elegant foundational Slow Waltz figures
  • guidance on movement, posture, timing, and connection
  • a calm and inclusive learning environment
  • an experience designed to help couples feel comfortable dancing together
  • plenty of encouragement, practice, and room to learn at your own pace

Slow Waltz is often the dance people picture when they think of classic ballroom — smooth, flowing, romantic, and surprisingly relaxing once you settle into the music. It’s a wonderful starting point for anyone looking to build confidence on the dance floor.

Ready for the Next Step After Newcomer?

If you’ve completed Newcomer — or have about six to twelve months of ballroom experience and you’re not quite ready for Pre-Bronze — Intermediate may be exactly the right fit.

Intermediate is designed for dancers who already know the basics of all six dances:
Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Rumba, Cha Cha, and Jive. It gives you more time to build confidence, improve technique, and make everything feel more comfortable and connected on the floor.

A great fit if you:
  • have completed Newcomer or danced for about 6 months
  • are comfortable with the basics but want more practice and refinement
  • want to strengthen technique and connection before moving into Pre-Bronze
  • are looking for a supportive next step that keeps your momentum going

Extra practice bonus

Anyone enrolled in an Intermediate class may join any Newcomer class at a 50% discount.
That means extra floor time, more repetition, and more chances to strengthen the fundamentals that make everything else easier. Please email to classes@vbds.org to find out how it works.

Intermediate is where dancing often starts to feel smoother, more natural, and more enjoyable. If you’re not quite ready for Pre-Bronze yet, that’s completely okay — this level is here to help you bridge that gap with confidence.

We’d love to see you keep going.
