and dance!
Sunday
We host dances for everyone
Whether you love to glide across the ballroom floor to a lyrical waltz, or shake your hips to a groovy salsa, you’ll find a home at USA Dance of North Central New Mexico.
We host social ballroom and Latin dances that bring New Mexicans together. We welcome all dancers, from beginners to competitors, from students to Super Seniors, and from tangueros to Two-Steppers.
We host dances at the Albuquerque Square Dance Club, 4915 Hawkins St. NE, on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. Dances are 3 – 5 p.m., with a lesson at 2:15 p.m. Admission for the lesson and dance is $5 for USA Dance members and $10 for others.
View our calendar to see our dance schedule, and read our news page for updates. Or drop us a line with your questions.
Founded in 2006, we are the local chapter of USA Dance, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ballroom dancing.
See you on the dance floor!

Dear social dancers and novices: our FUNdamentals Workshops are for you!
USA Dance is partnering with Albuquerque dance instructor Joseph Chavez for an afternoon of fun and affordable workshops on dance technique on Sunday, March 30.
The day the stars came out
And the Oscars went to … everyone who came to a recent USA Dance in Albuquerque dressed as a movie star or film character!
We rolled out a real red carpet (OK, a tiny one) for its March 2 dance, Academy Awards day. Dancers transformed themselves into current and historical actors and characters that rivaled anything happening at the real Academy Awards. Our stars even took home their own, six-inch-tall Oscars.

Members are free … Sunday at USA Dance!
Our next dance, on Sunday, March 16, is a Member Appreciation Dance. USA Dance members are free, while others pay $10. This dance also marks our chapter’s 19th anniversary. And since the following Monday is St. Patrick’s Day, you’re invited to wear something green.
Rosie Harper and Joseph Chavez will perform at Sunday’s dance
Sunday’s dance is 3 – 5 p.m. Our 2:15 p.m. lesson is East Coast Swing, taught by Joseph Chavez. Doug McClellan will DJ.
Lights … Camera … DANCE … Sunday at USA Dance!
Our next dance — Sunday, March 2 — falls on Academy Awards day. So we’re asking dancers to dress up like their favorite movie star or film character.
Everyone in costume will get a statuette. We ask that you arrive before 3 p.m. to participate in our awards ceremony.
The dance is 3 – 5 p.m. Come early for a Standard Tango lesson by Brenda Lamon at 2:15 p.m. Janis Pullen and Stefan Easter will also perform. Andy Nelson is our DJ.
Admission is $5 for USA Dance members and $10 for others.
