In the last 10 years, there's been an explosion of ballroom dancing classes so it shouldn't be difficult for you to find one. You can do a personal, one on one kind of class or you can go to a regular class with a partner or you go there and you are allotted a partner. Then again, today you can pick up an instructional video and practice those moves at home.

Good places to look for regular dance classes are the newspapers and the Internet. You get to choose exactly which ballroom dance you want to learn and also find out how much you will have to pay out. Some sites on the Internet have video tutorials where you can watch and learn for free. Scout around as well at any dance class close to where you stay or work.

Sometimes, there could be crash courses or dance camps that will be held so you need to keep a sharp eye out for these announcements.
