Membership at BDC

NEW FOR 2025!

Our studio memberships are for individuals and couples who simply want to dance more. Dancing can be an expensive hobby, so the goal of our memberships is to give you a diverse dance experience at a steeply discounted rate. By becoming a studio member, you will gain access to a wide variety of classes and lessons and be able to try everything our studio has to offer at a fraction of the cost.

The membership pays for itself every month in free classes alone!

Membership FAQ

  • Each membership has a minimum commitment of 4, 8, or 12 months from the date of purchase. Members are automatically moved to a month-to-month membership after completion of that term until cancelled.

  • We require 2 weeks notice to cancel your membership. Memberships can be cancelled by emailing info@ballroomdancechicago.com . Once cancelled, you will retain the membership until the expiration of your month.

  • We do not offer refunds on memberships, with the exception of newly purchased memberships.

    If a membership is cancelled within 48 hours after purchase, we offer a full refund (minus a $50 service fee). Otherwise, we do not offer refunds on memberships.

  • We do not allow memberships to be transferred between people.

  • Each level of membership gives you free tickets to group classes and monthly Socials as well as discounts on other services in the studio.

  • Membership is for either a solo dancer or a couple. If signing up with a partner, please note the name of your partner during checkout.

  • We allow any membership to be put on a one month hold once a year for a $30 administrative fee. To put your membership on hold, please email info@ballroomdancechicago.com and supply the dates for which you’d like the membership paused.

  • You need an active membership to receive the discounted lessons rate. If you decide to cancel your membership and you still have lessons on your account, you will need to pay the full lesson rate for the remaining lessons. In may cases, it might make more sense to keep the membership for an additional month to use your lessons and the free benefits before cancelling.
