About Us

At The Basics Ballroom in Gladstone, we help adults and couples turn date night into a habit. With simple steps and a welcoming vibe, you will build confidence, connection, and rhythm fast. Start with a First Lesson to map goals like wedding, confidence, energy, or community. Then follow our Foundations 4 plan: weekly private lesson, group class, at home practice, and a social, so progress sticks.
Choose styles you will love: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Rumba, ChaCha, East Coast Swing, Salsa, Bachata. Friendly teachers, small classes, and clear instruction mean more dancing and less guessing. Whether brand new or leveling up technique, we guide you from awkward to effortless and keep learning fun.
We serve Gladstone, Oregon City, Clackamas, Milwaukie, West Linn, and nearby communities. Simple steps. Real connection. Book your First Lesson to begin.
