Dance clubs in the US???

[Ukgurl]

I was born and raised in Austria, where I also learned ballroom dancing. In Austria, dancing is a rite of passage for many teens, and virtually everybody I know/knew is familiar with the basic steps of most standard and Latin dances.

I already know that this is not the case in the US. However, the thing that always shocks me is the price of lessons in this country! In Austria and Germany, I was a member of a Tanzclub (literally translated, a dance club) for about 200 Euros per person per year. There was a minimal fee of 3 Euros for lessons and free access to the floor space. The level of instruction was excellent, and it was fun. We were mostly social dancers, but there were some competitive couples as well.

Do you know of similar institutions (outside of universities) in the US? I find the prices of dance studios utterly ridiculous. My husband and I are not interested in competition dancing, but enjoy high level social dancing. We are not really interested in courses for the general community as they tend to focus on ballroom basics...Ideally, what we are looking for is something like my former dance club in Vienna

Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I wouldnt know. I've lived in america my entire life, and as ive grown up on heavy metal and classic rock, wouldnt know much about traditional dancing. You can always find local places that teach Ballet and such, but as far as traditional latin dances, i wouldnt have a clue. But if you want to see MegaDeth or Cannibal Corpse in concert i can point you the right way ;D
sorry i couldnt help much, but Social Etiquette is pretty much dead here.
