Group lessons are great: you get a chance to learn how to dance with a variety of people. But don’t overlook private lessons! Private lessons are great if you want to focus on a particular skill or perhaps practice a first dance for your wedding. Or maybe your schedule just doesn’t mesh with a series class. We can help with that! Get a dance tune up with a PRIVATE LESSON from Hallie or Alison. Which dances do they teach? • Bachata • Foxtrot • Salsa • Swing • Two-Step • Waltz • West Coast Swing Full details are online https://centuryballroom.com/classes/private-lessons/ #centuryballroom #privatedancelesson #salsa #salsadance #salsalessons #dancelessons #danceisfun #bachata #lindyhop #swingdance #waltz #foxtrot #two-step #westcoastswing

What a lovely human she was. Hallie

Happy Birthday to Dawn Hampton, who was born on this day in 1928. Dawn is such an inspiration to us, along with so many others. Here’s a clip of Dawn discussing how her career differed from the other masters, and how many deserving performers are no longer remembered. The light is on! The clip was filmed at a panel discussion at Century Ballroom’s Masters of Lindy Hop & Tap in 2007. This clip will also be on our YouTube page, along with others of Dawn, in our Masters of Lindy Hop & Tap playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsLi7QdWsp_yWneBujYHZP6o9x7Eyupw8 #lindyhop #centuryballroom #dawnhampton

One year ago, my friend and Bar Manager Sander Raav took over the reins in the former The Tin Table space, and made it his own: Art Table. Many things changed, but what stayed the same is his love of the people who he works with and those who frequent his bar and restaurant. The birth of The Tin Table was a bittersweet thing. It came about in 2008 when the building was sold to new owners, every arts organization and office vacated the building due to tripling rents. Only Century Ballroom remained. We always had a small cafe, (“small” is an understatement!) with amazing chefs and food coming out of that tiny kitchen. Growing into The Tin Table happened because I wanted people to experience the food if they weren’t coming to dance; and the only way to do that, was create a restaurant entity separate from Century Ballroom…The Tin Table. It went through changes and fights about skinny or thicker frites, (I’m on Team Skinny). The Fl**zy Burger stayed throughout all the changes, including its name. Chimay became my favorite beer; and my love of bubbly still remains (as does the Champagne Wall at Art Table). Up until the last year, I had never had to wait on a table. Oddly I enjoyed doing it, because I got to talk to people. But that was not a job I was good at; so if you had me as a wait person, thanks for your patience and understanding. The Tin Table’s last day of service was 5/31/25. A year later, I still get to hang out at Art Table, seeing dancers and staff, which is what I hoped for when we closed Century. If you haven’t been back, go say “Hi", try some Jamaican Food, and see the rotating art shows. (And if you’re a dancer, go dance!). I’ll see you there. -Hallie Owner, Century Ballroom Interim CEO, Reverie Ballroom (yup, you read that right) #centuryballroom #thetintable #arttable

Happy Birthday to Frankie Manning, who was born on this day back in 1914. Frankie has always been a legend for us. Here’s a clip of Frankie talking about performing with a couple people that were legends for him. The clip was filmed at a panel discussion at Century Ballroom’s Masters of Lindy Hop & Tap in 2008. Pictured along with Frankie, L-R, are Sugar Sullivan, Barbara Billups, Dawn Hampton, Frankie, Christine Sampson, Norma Miller, Chazz Young, Chester Whitmore and Skip Cunningham (partially out of shot). This clip will also be on our YouTube page, in our Masters of Lindy Hop & Tap playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsLi7QdWsp_yWneBujYHZP6o9x7Eyupw8 #lindyhop #centuryballroom #frankiemanning #worldlindyhopday
