THE COMPANY- Since March 2006, MandevilleBallroom.com has been providing information for "Dancing on the Northshore!" Countless dancers have connected with local instructors, friends, and dance venues since its inception. Whether they wanted to meet new people, get in shape, gain self confidence (that only dancing with another person can bring), or branch out and try something new, people all over St. Tammany have found use and convenience in this site.
Mandeville Ballroom hosted its first dance March 2006. It all started with a few people, a borrowed sound system, and several CDs worth of great dancing music. For two years, Mandeville Ballroom hosted monthly dances and special events.
Now, we are pleased to give the Northshore a great new location! The 2nd anniversary of Mandeville Ballroom coincided with the grand opening of the new studio at 5150 Hwy 22, Mandeville (suite A-5). Now, with a permanent home, Mandeville Ballroom llc is proud to offer weekly dance parties, weekly group lessons (in Ballroom, Latin, and Swing), anytime private lessons, and rental for lessons and events.
We constantly strive to build a warm and friendly, skilled dance community on the Northshore.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________YOUR INSTRUCTOR- Aaron
As a life-long Mandeville resident, I played soccer and earned a black belt in TKD (MKTC). I graduated in December 2005 from Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) with a B.A. in Entrepreneurship, then I began working full-time for Latter & Blum Realtors, inc. I left Latter and Bloom to focus all my attention on Mandeville Ballroom, llc.
How I got into Social Dance: I began dancing as a Sophomore in college. A family friend told me that her daughter taught dancing locally, so I went. I immediately fell in love with the different dances and the social freedom they afforded me. I subsequently began a club at SLU: the Southeastern Swing Dance Club, SDC for short. I really wanted to practice more often and I also wanted to share my love of ballroom dancing with others. I was, soon after, recruited on the board of directors for the United States Amateur Ballroom Dancers' Association (USABDA). Additionally, I also assisted with the Highschool dance clubs (MHS, FHS). Now, my mission is to spread the love of social dance throughout the Northshore, and to provide dancers with a safe, alcohol-free venue to learn and practice new skills. I currently continue to improve my dance skills through lessons, workshops and private instruction from nationally and internationally recognized instructiors and coaches.
