What is social dancing?
Social Dancing is where a bunch of people go to a party, dance music is played, and people pair up and dance one song at a time. Depending on what song is played, you may dance the Foxtrot, the Salsa, the Hustle, or one of over a dozen dances! Using the skills you learn with us, you will be able to attend these parties and dance even with a complete stranger, having learned how to lead and follow.

What is competitive dancing?
Rebel DanceSport attends intercollegiate dance competitions across the Southwest, where dancers compete against each other in the Ballroom dances. Competitions are divided by level, and the Newcomer level is only open to those who have just started to learn to dance. Once you join the team, you will be able to come with us to these competitions and compete against other dancers at your own level for prizes and glory.

I am associated with UNLV. How do I join the team?
Just show up for a free week's worth of lessons. You can find the times and locations of our group classes this semester on our Calendar page. Students get a massive discount on joining the team, which works out to about $2 per class. Given that the average group dance class in Las Vegas costs $15-20, this is a great deal!

Do I need a partner to join?
Not at all! Everyone in class is paired up and continually swaps partners, so everyone gets a chance to dance with everyone else. Newcomers (who want to) will be matched with partners to practice with outside of class and compete with.

Is any special attire required?
Just wear something comfortable. Eventually you may consider special dance shoes that have suede on the bottoms for the perfect amount of grip and slide.

Do I have to do competitions?
Nope! Feel free to just come to group classes if you want. We'll never force you to do anything, or kick you off the team if you choose not to participate in an activity or event.
