The Best Group Classes in Seattle
Although the Washington State Health Department has given us the most relaxed restrictions since March 2020, we will be taking every precaution and limit our capacity further than recommended. However, we are still able to bring back the amazing classes so many of you have come to enjoy at Aria Ballroom.

We will keep adding videos. We tried the page on our phones and it works well for us so you should be able to use the videos and music straight from your phones. If you would like to go download the songs I am sure both are available on google, amazon, or Itunes. We will try to change the songs up and I will make a song library for you.
Our goal is to add a comments section below so you can ask questions, make requests, and leave us notes.
If you have any suggestions for now please email me at simeon@ariaballroom.com, contact Bill, or text/call me personally at (425) 445-0630.
