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.

Watch us as we tackle one of the greatest love stories of all time with absolutely no finesse, maturity, emotional depth, or tact.
We're (kind of) performing Pride & Prejudice, but with way more alcohol and improv. Drink with us (if you're into that), and we'll maybe even put you in the show (if you're into that)!

Pre-show starts at 1 pm and the show itself starts at 1:30 pm. The show is 21+ and $10 plus fees.

An online ticket purchase gives you a General Admission seat; seating is first-come, first-served. We will have your name at the door and will check you off the list. There will be extremely limited walk-up sales the night of--which will be standing and/or obstructed view only--so make sure to buy your ticket ahead of time!
