New ATOMIC Website

After much ado, I am proud to present to you the new ATOMIC Ballroom website!!! Check it out: www.atomicballroom.com. We are really excited to have the new website up and running. It was an arduous process, tons of work and lots of long hours, but it was completely worth it. I might be a little bias, but honestly the new website is AWESOME! Building it from the ground up we were able to design it specifically for ATOMIC and its got all the bells and whistles.

To rotate or not to rotate

To rotate or not to rotate

When you take a group class at ATOMIC Ballroom you will quickly find that we rotate partners. Your instructor will say, "Thank your partner, and rotate." Dance studios rotate partners because
  • Classes are not evenly matched with leaders and followers.
  • Many students come alone and would like to meet more than one person.
  • Every partner "feels" different. Because partner dancing is based on lead and follow it's a good idea to develop a versatile connection.
  • When you go to a dance you will know many partners because you will have danced with them before during class.
Some people come to class with a partner already. However it's still a VERY good idea to rotate partners.

Viennese Waltz

Viennese Waltz

The Viennese waltz was born in the suburbs of Vienna and in the alpine region of Austria in the 1700’s. The waltz was originally a folk dance, danced by peasants in Austria and Bavaria. Many of the familiar waltz tunes can be traced back to simple peasant yodeling melodies. The word, waltz comes from the old German word “walzen” which means to roll, turn, or to glide.
