Geelong Ballroom Dance Club, located in Hamlyn Heights, is a not-for-profit organisation that has been serving the local community since its establishment in 1984. The club leases a versatile facility called The Ballroom from the City of Greater Geelong, which is used for various dance classes, practise sessions, and social events organised by club members and the wider community.
The club holds weekly ballroom dances every Saturday night from 7:30 pm to 10:15 pm at The Ballroom, conveniently situated on the corner of Bayview Parade and Carey Street, Hamlyn Heights, next to the Tennis Courts. The venue is spacious, comfortable, and purpose-built, offering a welcoming atmosphere for dancers of all levels. Each week, there is a diverse selection of music, ranging from live performances to carefully curated ballroom CD music. This ensures that dancers can enjoy a variety of New Vogue, Latin, and Modern styles that cater to beginners, intermediates, and advanced dancers.
Apart from the enjoyment of dancing, the Geelong Ballroom Dance Club believes in the positive effects of social dancing on physical and mental well-being. Engaging in this form of physical activity helps stimulate good mental health and fosters social connexions. The club prides itself on being a friendly and inclusive community, and both the committee and patrons are always ready to assist newcomers in finding their footing on the dance floor.
In addition to the dance sessions, the club encourages attendees to bring a plate of food to share, allowing for conversations, catch-ups with friends, and the opportunity to make new connexions. The venue boasts a purpose-built dance floor that is widely regarded as one of the best in town, ensuring a delightful experience for all dancers.
