At Dayton Vintage Dance, we socially dance many types of historical and modern dances. Our emphasis is typically on having fun with partnered social dances, but we also do set dances, circle dances, line dances, and solo dances as well.

Our normal mode of operation is as a one-room schoolhouse. This allows novice dancers to be paired with experienced dancers which helps novice dancers learn dances much more quickly than if they were to be paired with other novices and encourages experienced dancers to focus on clear communication and flexibility in dance.  Occasionally the classes are broken into groups if specialized topics are being taught that aren't suitable for all.

All levels and styles of dancers are welcome.

Our lessons are regularly attended by dancers ranging in skill from novice to workshop instructor.

Schedule: 

Every Friday except for select holidays

Sign-in: 7:45PM - 8:00PM

Lesson: 8:00PM - 9:00PM

Open Dance: 9:00PM-10:00PM

Students are welcome to enter through the front door or the back door. The lessons and dance will be in the main ballroom. Go straight down the hallway through either door and you can't miss it.

The Richardsonian Romanesque gateway, chapel, and office completed in 1887 are on the National Register of Historic Places with the chapel featuring one of the finest original Tiffany windows in the country. It also houses 16 other Tiffany windows and a hand-cut Tiffany mosaic floor.

The restoration of the Chapel and Administration Building was brought to completion in 2024. The project involved the replacement of over 700 red sandstones and unveiled previously lost details of the Chapel, reinstating its historical grandeur and architectural integrity for future generations to appreciate. The interior of the Chapel was completely restored including the 17 Tiffany windows and Tiffany mosaic tile floor.

All proceeds support the Woodland Arboretum Foundation which focuses on the restoration, preservation, horticultural and educational projects needed to keep Woodland a cultural resource for Dayton and Ohio.

Parking is available both inside and outside the gates.

*If you would like to purchase tickets for all three concerts at a discount price, please contact us at 937-228-3221.
