Stepping into the world of dance can be transformative, and at Jersey City Ballroom, co-founders Shimkiri and Werner Figar are passionate about sharing this joy with you. With over twenty years of experience in performing and competing, they understand the profound impact dance can have on your life. Inspired by their own journey, they established Jersey City Ballroom in May 2015, and due to its continued success, expanded in June 2017 to welcome even more dance enthusiasts.
When you join us for Ballroom Dance Lessons, you’re not just entering a studio; you’re becoming part of a vibrant dance community. You’ll quickly find yourself surrounded by new friends who share your passion for movement and rhythm. This camaraderie flourishes at our dance socials, community gatherings, and even on our performance teams and at dance congresses. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have danced before, all levels are welcome, and you don’t need a partner to join the fun. All you need is a desire to dance and, of course, your dancing shoes!
