Hello and welcome to our blog about the Columbia dance scene. The most natural way for us to begin has to be listing the best local dance schools and studios.
Whether you are trying to find lessons for kids or adults one of the studios on this page should be able to help you out. There should be classes for Samba, Salsa, Hip Hop, Ballet, Tango, The Waltz, K-Pop, or other styles and routines somewhere in your area and we will do our best to help you figure out where to take them.

Following the lessons we will pivot to some of the best Columbia dance clubs and bars. There will be stores around where you can buy shoes, clothes, and other supplies that will need to get a shout out.
Aerobic dance routine workouts like Zumba, Jazzercise, Barre, Buti Yoga, or even Pole Dancing are all the rage these days so of course they will be covered. Then we will dive into music and dance festivals near you both here and around the region.
If you want to get a better feel for where all these spots are located you will find a map towards the conclusion. And anyone that is interested can check out more of our posts on the Southeast dance scene right there.
