Ballroom Dance School Manhattan - Manhattan, Kansas

Ryane Englar

If you are interested in dancing of all kinds (ballroom, social, competitive, etc) and are in the market for a dedicated instructor, then look no further.

Tim Gregory and Ballroom Dance School of Manhattan are what you are looking for. Whether you are a beginner/novice, intermediate, or advanced dancer; whether you intend to do partner lessons or solo lessons; whether you dream of competing or you just want to feel prepared for that wedding you have to attend at the end of the month, Tim offers a little something for everyone.

I have been dancing now for 3.5 years. I started my dance journey with the Arthur Murray franchise in Arizona, but work brought me to KS in May 2017. At that time, I had a solid connection with the studio in AZ and had already committed to competing with my pro partner in AZ in July 2017.

I knew that I needed some way to keep up my skill.

I also knew that I just needed to dance. Period.

As a professor and veterinarian, I work long days. I work long nights. I work weekends.

Work is a constant, but dance has become an outlet.

It completes me in a way that I never thought anything could.

It came along at a point in my life when I didn't know that anything was missing.

Now that I have it in my life, it's here to stay. It just has to be.

Why walk through life when you can dance? 🙂

Seriously, though, it's THAT easy. What began as just a social event – something for me to do to get to know the community – quickly became a passion of mine.

I felt lost when I had to leave my AZ studio behind.

Then I found Tim.

Tim allowed me to pick up my story where I had left off.

By coincidence, luck, or fate -- call it what you will -- I stumbled upon Tim’s contact information online.

I wanted so very badly to return to the dance that I was missing, the dance that was pent up in my heart.

And so I reached out. The rest is history.

Tim contacted me within a timely manner. He heard what I was looking for. He recognized that dance was a part of me that I needed to continue. And he proceeded to make the time to keep me on track.

Tim offers what no one else in Manhattan offers.

Dance. Convenient dance. At an affordable price.

Not just one dance. TONS of them.... Whatever is up your alley.

Tim understands that not everyone has the same dance needs. Some of us want to only learn salsa; others want to learn just waltz; others want to dabble in East Coast Swing, Single Time Swing, West Coast, and Jive...

Tim gets that everyone's path in dance is different.

Some of us come alone (individual one-on-one lessons are welcome); some of us come in pairs (couple lessons are welcome). Some of us believe in safety and numbers and are better suited for group class.

Whatever your preference, he will make it happen.

His repertoire is vast.

He is responsive to the needs of his students.

He is working hard to build a studio in a town that needs dancing desperately.

His prices are also exceptionally reasonable.

Please give him a try.

It will be the best hour that you've had in a long while.

For those of you who already have fallen in love with dance, you'll know what I mean.

For those of you who don't, what are you waiting for?

You won't know unless you try.

You also don't have to compete like I do, to work with Tim.

Tim works with *all* levels.

So pick up your phone today. Give him a call. Find out what he can do for you.

Have a blast and find your inner dance.

Mine is tango.

What's yours? 🙂

We drove over an hour to take dance classes from Tim. We had private sessions to prepare for our wedding. We loved the one on one he gave us and all of the instruction. Tim helped make out wedding dance a success. He is extremely knowledgeable of all types of dances. He had trained for years and is proficient at teaching even for the newest of dancers. I'd definitely recommend his studio to anyone.

Tim is highly accomplished and is an excellent instructor. He can expertly instruct so many different dance steps for each partner and does so with patience and humor. I have seen a number of young couples who he has helped choreograph first wedding dances and they were beautifully done. Great date nights for couples while learning a lifelong skill. Highly recommend!

My husband and I took several lessons with Tim in preparation for our first dance at our wedding. It was so fun and we learned a lot. Tim is a great teacher and was able to break everything down for us beginners in small chunks so it wasn’t overwhelming.

I gave my wife couples dance lessons as a gift. We enjoyed learning from Tim. He was really easy going. He teaches in a pretty relaxed and laid back atmosphere. His communication was great. No hidden fees as he is very upfront about everything. We really enjoyed our time with Ballroom Dance School Manhattan!

Julie Hagedorn

Tim was a very patient instructor. My husband is a far better dancer than me so helping me was a challenge but we enjoyed it so much. He definitely is a professional and made us both feel comfortable as we learned how to better dance as a couple, not just my husband always leading .

Tim is an excellent teacher. My husband gave me (us) private lessons as a gift. One of the best gifts ever! Tim was gracious with his instruction and patience. We had a grand time! Highly recommend
