    Welcome to Birmingham Ballroom Dance School
  • Welcome!

    Birmingham Ballroom is a ballroom dance studio that originated in Birmingham, Michigan. We have an extremely spacious ballroom dance floor for instruction of American and International style dances.


    Owner - Blake Kish

    Blake Kish is the founder of Birmingham Ballroom and one of its several seasoned instructors.

    Blake has been a professional ballroom dancer and instructor for over 30 years. Blake is also a top competitive professional dancer, having been ranked #1 in the United States with the DanceSport Series in 2012 & 2013. He has been a three time 1st Place Finalist in the Professional Open, American Smooth categories.

    Studio Lobby

    First impressions are very important, we all know this to be true. Birmingham Ballroom's lobby goes beyond normal, aiming to impress from first sight. Birmingham Ballroom is all about style and that is clear to students the moment they walk through the door.

    Parking

    Birmingham Ballroom prides itself on an abundant amount of safe parking for its students. Having too much parking, in fact, has eliminated much of the stress associated with commuting to and from the studio.

    Ballroom One

    The newly renovated front ballroom is a spacious dance area well suited for dance instruction, dance parties and other special dance events.

    Ballroom Two

    The rear ballroom has also been recently renovated and is perfect for private, more intimate instruction.

    American Style

    In the smooth dances the couples may dance together and apart, and the goal in American Smooth dancing is to dance well in a closed partnership as well as to interpret the music lyrically with open work, (meaning not in a closed dance frame together). These include Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango & Viennese Waltz.

    International Style

    Emphasis is placed on the closed position in all figures. Couples may not separate in Foxtrot, Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Tango or Quickstep, and strive for partnership moving together at all times.

    Rhythm Dance Styles

    Standardized in the US for competitive events. These dances include West Coast Swing, Hustle, Mambo, Rumba, Cha Cha, Bolero, Samba, East Coast Swing and Meringue.

    Smooth Dance Styles

    In American Smooth, partners can release their arm hold, allowing spins, dips, and other embellishments that are not permitted in International Standard. Dances include Foxtrot, Tango, Viennese Waltz and Waltz.
