About this studio
The Ballroom Institute is an adult social dance studio in Marietta specializing in private one-on-one ballroom dance lessons, group lessons, and studio practice parties. The studio teaches all forms of partnership dancing, from the Foxtrot to the Rumba, focusing on American style at all levels from beginners to advanced competitive dancers.
The studio was founded by a couple who met and married within these doors, and dancing is woven through the fabric of their lives. When you enter, you'll find an elegant environment with an authentic, fun and friendly atmosphere. The staff takes great pride in their own dance training and achievements as professional dancers, and customizes each dance programme to help you become your personal best.
