Weekly Lesson Series
On weekdays during Fall & Spring semesters, BAM offers lesson series for a variety of dances during the semester. Each series meets for 2 or 3 weeks, and the instructor will review what you learned the previous week before continuing with the next lesson. You never need to bring a partner as we change partners often throughout the lesson. Series Lessons are only open to UW students, UW staff, and BAM members. You can join the club at the lesson to receive a discounted price for the class. Just arrive a few minutes early to join the club. (Membership Details).
Are you taking a ballroom class at the UW Dance Department this semester? If so, we provide a dance participation credit slip for each lesson. We write "Lesson" on the slip and it is up to your professor to decide whether it counts as credit for your class. We also provide credit slips at our weekend lessons and dances. This also applies to our pre-dance lessons (see below).

Each of the lessons in the series will build on what we learn the first week, so you will learn faster if you can attend the first lesson. Beginner classes assume participants have little to no experience with dancing, and will move at a pace appropriate for new dancers. You do not need to enroll with a partner. Expect frequent partner changes and numerous group activities and exercises.

Pre-Dance Lessons
Before most of our weekend dances, we offer a beginner level lesson before the general social dance starts. Even though the pre-dance lessons are for a single genre each week, we always play a mix of dance genres at the social dance.
Pre-dance lessons are included in the price of admission so feel free to stop by for dancing and a lesson!
For more upcoming pre-dance lessons, see our dance schedule.
