A Unique Take On Dance

Most dance studios in the area focus on formal ballroom dance styles for your event. At Philadelphia Dance Connection, we do more than that -- we choreograph a routine to modern, popular dance styles like Salsa, Traditional and Sensual Bachata, Hip Hop, West Coast Swing and Latin Hustle. Once you learn the dance for your event, you can continue to dance at clubs and events throughout the Philly area. It’s a useful investment for a lifetime!
