Why We Dance....

DanceSport Carolina is the SouthEast's only EXCLUSIVE and premier Ballroom and Latin dance training facility. Whether you are looking for a Who's Who's among national champions, or simply to be the best one on the floor of your next company Christmas party, DanceSport Carolina offers the curriculm, teaching system, and staff to accomplish your wildest (or tamest!) dancing dreams. But so often, we forget WHY we dance...what brought us to the floor to begin with.

If you are a couple, most likely your reasons center around passion (or lack thereof), boredom (yes, it happens, its okay!), the search for a date-night that doesn't involve your feet sticking to the floor, and the desire to truly invest in your significant other and your relationship. Where else can you take to the floor, wrapped in one another's arms, cloaked in darkness and dusted with glistening spotlight, while sensuous beats take you far, far away? Where else can you laugh, really laugh, both with and at one another? Where else can you grow together, both emotionally and physically, while learning to do something new? It's on the dancefloor.

If you are a single (either in life, of just in dance) most likely your reasons to dance center around the desire to REALLY show yourself and others what you are made of! To attain an air of grace, confidence, and success that follows you off the floor and into your everyday life. To challenge yourself, your VIEW of yourself, and others view of you. To be something you always wanted to be, but never thought you could. All this and more, happens on our floor.

No matter how you come to our studio, as a pair, as a single, straight from work, or in between running your children around town, one thing remains the same: you leave a different person than you walked in. Maybe happier, with the flush of excitement and physical exertion on your cheeks. Perhaps prouder, of yourself, your spouse, or a move that you finally mastered. Maybe even a bit more in love, having had an uninterrupted hour to spend focusing on your special other. You are not only different, but better. This truth is the heart of each and every passing hour at DanceSport Carolina. Through growing staff and adding studios, that focus and vision has remained the same. Every lantern hung was with the though of someone dancing under it, and every teacher hired with the dream of sharing DanceSport Carolina's passion with the world. This truth is our heart, and it is WHY WE DANCE.

How Do You Spend YOUR Friday Nights?

Remember the day when Friday night meant something good, something fun, something exciting? Maybe a homecoming dance, or football game, a night at the club, or some frat party with a friend? We all hit a point where those things are no longer a part of our life or social calendar (thank God, really!), but the strange part is, SO FEW people actually make an effort to fill that void with something that is equally or even more exciting. Something that is productive and constructive, something that gets your heart rate climbing, something that gives you a reason to buy that cute little dress or skirt! If you are part of Charlotte's ONLY exclusive Ballroom and Latin dance studios, DanceSport Carolina, you know the feeling! Your Friday nights once again hold all the thrill and excitement, romance and passion that they did in years past! EVERY Friday night one of DanceSport Carolina's studios is turned into a swanky and sophisticated PRIVATE NIGHT CLUB for its students and staff only! The evening kicks off with an hour long group class that runs directly into an hour of non-stop music and dancing! The lights go down, the passion and excitement climbs; the disco ball gets cranking and the bass explodes! Whether you are there to dance with your special someone, to mix and mingle with our extra-ordingary amateurs, or to enjoy the roller-coaster excitement of dancing with our DSC Pros, the evening is sure to be the highlight of your week! New to dancing and overwhelmed at the thought of being able to handle the crowd? Our staff is there to hold your hand through what is guaranteed to be the first of MANY Friday nights spent with us. There is no better way to gain confidence and comfort on the dance floor than trying you new moves in a real-life environment!
So join us this and every Friday night at your local DanceSport Carolina, and put a little SPICE back in YOUR life!

Photos from Lizzie's Latin Birthday Bash!








Be honest, you SO wish your life was this much fun!


DanceSport Carolina Pros Bring the Heat!


If you have attended any of DanceSport Carolina's events in the past, the overwhelming success of Lizzie's Latin Birthday Bash will come as no suprise! Students from both the Lake Wylie and Matthews locations flooded DSC Matthews just before 8pm and danced NON-STOP until 10pm. There was not a dry face or shirt in the house! (as evidenced by the photos!) The evening kicked-off with a latin line dance and the temperature rose from there! The floor and walls vibrated with energy, joy, and Tom's ridiculous bass system! In between dances, students snacked on festive appetizers and desserts brought by their fellow dancers. Students honored Elizabeth with a beautiful (and absolutely delicious!) custom-made, designer birthday cake and wonderful gifts. The highlight of the evening was the Professional Mambo formation danced by DSC's very own Matthews staff. Even Elizabeth was caught gasping and squealing in delight!

Up next on the DSC event calendar: The Cosmopolitan Classic! Sunday, September 26th at the Ritz-Carlton hotel! There are still tickets available for our day and evening sessions, and a very limited number available for the Ball. Email Elizabeth or speak with your teacher for ticket information.
