read moreSouthern Elegance did it again at the 2019 "Stars Dancing For HEALS" charity event winning BOTH trophies - for "Crowd Favorite" with our Viennese Waltz and "Champion for Children" raising the most money for a couple. We are the only studio to have the same couple win both trophies (Crowd Favorite & Champion for Children) at the annual "Stars Dancing For Heals" Charity event. We have now done it 4 times - in 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2019. We are also the only studio invited to participate every year since the event inception.

Why Dance
read moreStudies have shown that dance, in particular, can decrease anxiety and boost mood more than other physical outlets. Researchers Leste and Rust (1990/1984) assigned patients with anxiety disorders to spend time in one of four settings: a modern-dance class, an exercise class, a music class, or a math class. Only the dance class significantly reduced anxiety. So why dance in particular? Why should you dance? Why would dance be a vehicle to cope with daily stressors or even horrific tragedies? Perhaps this is based on the specific distinction that dance in itself is innately an expressive art form, not just a physical release of body tension alone.
How Dance Heals
read moreIndividuals who live completely sedentary lives are experiencing the harmful symptoms derived from motionless days. We were designed to move and if we don't, we pay penalties. If you are like me, you may think you can get away with relaxing and taking it easy in certain periods of your life, a kind of "cheating the system". You stop going to the gym as often, you decide to stay in and watch Netflix instead of going out. You may look at your body and see that the consequences don't show up immediately.
Events
read moreEvery Friday night we host a party that includes a group lesson from 6:30-7:00 and dancing from 7:00-9:00. Dress is classy casual - please, no shorts. We play the finest selection of contemporary dance music in Huntsville, carefully chosen to enhance your experience. Semi-Annually, we host a formal ShowCase which provides students, instructors and competitors a chance to display choreographed numbers in costume. The MARS Ballroom Dance Club was established for the employees of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama.
Reviews
read moreIn 2009, I looked for the best dance studio in Huntsville and found Southern Elegance. I had never danced before. It took most of my courage to show up for my first lesson with Rick, owner of the studio. I was amazed at how easy he made dancing seem. Within weeks I had enough confidence to go to a dance party. Before I knew it, I was dancing 4 days a week. It was the most fun I ever had, and it is the best exercise there is. In 2010, I met a man at a dance party that asked to share my lessons. In 2011, we were married!
