Wednesday Series Lessons
During our Wednesday practice sessions at The Crossing Campus Center, UWMBDA offers a weekly lesson series for a variety of dances during the semester. Each series meets for 3 or 4 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. You do not have to be a member of UWMBDA to attend the Wednesday lessons, however, you can join at the lesson to receive a discouted 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 dances.

Pre-Dance Lessons
Before most of our weekend dances, we offer a 6:00pm intermediate lesson followed by a 7:00pm beginning lesson before the general social dance starts at 8:00pm. You can see what the lesson will be for any particular weekend on our dance schedule page. Even though the pre-dance lessons are for a single genre each week, we always play a mix of all different dance genres at the social dance starting at 8:00.
If you are a UWMBDA member, these pre-dance lessons are free. Just show your membership card as you arrive or we can look up your membership if you have lost your card. Non-members may take the pre-dance lessons for $5. If you pay $5 for the intermediate lesson, you can stay for the second beginning level lesson without having to pay an additional $5.
