Welcome to ABD!
Austin Ballroom Dancers (ABD) is a social organization dedicated
to ballroom dancing. We sponsor dances, classes, and workshops
for people of all ages. [more]
Mini-Lessons
We understand that the sheer number of ballroom dances can
be intimidating. To help with this, we are now teaching
"mini-lessons" from 7:30-8:00pm before each dance.
You won't be an expert, but you will learn the basic and maybe
a turn or two enough to get out there and see what it's like.
And the mini-lessons are included with paid admission. Check out our
schedule in the right column.

Saturday Dances
ABD dances are held at Austin
Uptown Dance, 8868 Research Blvd., Suite 706.
[PDF Map].
Austin Uptown Dance has a lovely bamboo dance floor and fewer
"no dance" weekends. In general, the dances will be from 8-11 p.m.,
with mini-lessons at 7:30. Once a month the time will shift to 7-10 p.m.,
with mini-lessons at 6:30. We'll keep you informed via the website
and our email bulletins. You can call the ABD Hotline at 989-3939
if you have any questions, or
email the ABD Secretary.
