This is Beijing's only western-style ballroom dance club. Every Saturday night it organizes a free dance at the Sino-Chu Wine Bar & Restaurant (see address below). Its website offers information about all the most popular places in Beijing to study and dance swing, salsa, ballroom dance and Argentine Tango. They also offer private dance instruction for groups and individuals, occasional public classes and other special activities/events.

Our dance club is non-profit, open to all -- and there are no dues. You can join us at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BeijingBallroom

We hold weekly Saturday parties at the Sino-Chu Wine Bar from 8:30-11:30 pm. We hold a public dance class before this party begins.

Dance information: Our Saturday dances are free, but you must buy a 30 RMB "minimum purchase" ticket at the door. We play the best mix of dance music in Beijing: Waltz & Foxtrot, East & West Coast Swing, Salsa, Cha-Cha, Bachata, Rumba, Argentine Tango, Disco-Hustle and much more. Dress is casual or elegant. Food and drinks are available (no smoking) at tables around the dance floor.

Public dance classes: Usually we teach a class before our Saturday parties, from 7:30-8:30 pm. Dance taught changes each month. Level is beginner/intermediate. These are drop-in classes. Those who choose to attend classes pay a separate 30 RMB fee directly to the teacher on the night of the class. At our dance party right after class you can practice what you have just learned!

In addition to ballroom, swing and Latin dance classes, this club cuts a rug every Saturday with dance-centered parties and events. Private and group instructions are available. Check out their website for details on the next party.
