To showcase the styles of ballroom dancing and the talents of local dancers, the Jacksonville Dance Alliance (JDA) is sponsoring a booth at the Riverside Arts Market from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 31. JDA members will meet and greet, show off a step or two, and share the benefits of ballroom dancing. JDA studios will also provide a ballroom dance performance and group class on the Roundhouse Stage - stay tuned for the performance time. Be sure to stop by, say hi and support ballroom dancing in Northeast Florida!

July 31 happens to be National Dance Day, and the Riverside Arts Market is celebrating all styles of dance with performances and classes throughout the day.

From a previous video, you know you can ballroom dance to rock’n'roll, but what about the music at the club? Here’s a few salsa, cha cha and west coast swing scenes from a recent Jacksonville Dance Alliance event. In short…it’s caliente!

We were asked recently:  how do you ballroom dance to rock’n'roll music? Well, here are a few scenes of Jacksonville Dance Alliance ballroom dancers doing exactly that:  the East Coast Swing to a classic Rolling Stones tune.

As night fell and the club lights flashed, Jacksonville Dance Alliance dancers let loose. Click through to see the final photo gallery from an awesome evening of ballroom dancing on the town.
