Welcome to The Dance Space

The Dance Space is a dance facility run by a group of amateur ballroom dancers.   We have been open since April of 1992 and we are dedicated to promoting Ballroom dance in the Richmond, VA metropolitan area.  We have a 1,600 square foot wooden dance floor and state-of-the-art sound system that is used for regularly scheduled dance events and instruction.

We are not a dance studio in the traditional sense.  The Dance Space is a facility that is used in the following ways:
  • Holding public Ballroom Dances on a regular basis
  • Providing public Ballroom Dance Group Lessons on a regular basis for both non-dancers and experienced dancers
  • Rental of floor space to independent professional ballroom dance instructors for both private and group instruction
  • Rental of floor space to established amateur and professional dance organizations for dances, classes and other events
