Private Lessons
Private lessons are the most effective way to learn how to dance. You get personal attention to make it easier for YOU! We start by listening to what you want to get out of your dance experience.
Then we customize lessons to meet your needs. Learn at your ideal pace and comfort level. You can take private lessons as an individual or a couple for the same price.

Bungee Swing
Most people are looking to get in shape for dancing RIGHT? Come to feel like a kid again and unleash your inner superhero!
It’s a bird! it’s a plane! It’s… full-grown adults having the time of their lives on bungee cords!
Who says gravity is limiting? Spend your afternoon or evening with Melanie, or Antoinette and jump, invert, dance, bounce, leap, orbit, spin and fly like you are on the moon!
In Bungee Swing class you wear a climbing harness attached to bungees which are attached to the ceiling. The bungees give you levity and buoyancy as if dancing in the lower gravity of the moon. The endless possibilities allow you to move solo or in contact improvisation.
Classes are held Monday evenings, Tuesday mornings, Saturdays, and Sundays. Check out the schedule on our home page calendar. Secure your spot for $20!
At this moment in time, our bungees allow weights up to 400 pounds.

TESTIMONIALS
“Whether you are seeking to compete in Dance Sport or just want to dance socially, you could not find a better learning environment! The
instructors are talented, the staff is very helpful, and the environment is friendly. The group classes and dance parties are really fun and a great way to meet other nice dancers! Congratulations, Melanie, on creating a little “ballroom paradise” in Raleigh!””
Barbara Atlee,
Veterinarian
“A big benefit from this experience has been the interaction with a great group of students from a wide range of ages and many walks of life. Some have become good friends who I look forward to seeing in classes and practice sessions. At times my wife and I have met with other students for dinner at restaurants, attended parties, and gone to theater performances. Finally, my days at ASTG have provided physical exercise combined with mental stimulation.”
