At USA Dance, we host dances for everyone!
Come out
and dance!
Dances every 1st and 3rd
Sunday
All levels welcome
Whether you love to glide across the ballroom floor to a lyrical waltz, or shake your hips to a groovy salsa, you’ll find a home at USA Dance of North Central New Mexico.
We host social ballroom and Latin dances that bring New Mexicans together. We welcome all dancers, from beginners to competitors, from students to Super Seniors, and from tangueros to Two-Steppers.
You don’t need a partner to attend USA Dance. Our DJs play a blend of ballroom (waltz, tango, foxtrot, etc.), and Latin (rumba, cha cha, swing, bolero, etc.) music along with a sprinkling of West Coast Swing, Country-Western, salsa, hustle, line dances, and other styles..
We host dances at the Albuquerque Square Dance Center, 4915 Hawkins St. NE, on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, unless noted. Dances are 3 – 5 p.m. from January – May and September – December, and 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. from June – August. All regular dances are preceded by lessons for beginners and for intermediate and advanced dancers. We are also adding a line dance class.
Admission for dance and lessons is just $5 for USA Dance members and $10 for others. We think it’s a great value!
