"I had an amazing experience at Champion Ballroom Knoxville!"
I had an amazing experience at Champion Ballroom Knoxville! If you’re looking for a fun and welcoming ballroom dance party, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is friendly, the music is great, and everyone—from beginners to experienced dancers—feels comfortable on the dance floor.
The instructors do a fantastic job making sure you understand the basics before the party starts, which makes it easy to jump in and actually enjoy dancing the same night. I really appreciated how inclusive it felt—no partner or experience needed.
The space itself is beautiful and perfect for social dancing. You can tell a lot of care has gone into creating a place where people can connect, learn, and have a great time.
Highly recommend this spot to anyone in Knoxville who wants to try a ballroom dance party or just meet new people and do something different on a night out!

"...we had a wonderful experience."
My wife and I took lessons from Chris to practice for our wedding and we had a wonderful experience. He broke everything down in easy steps, tailored the moves to our ability and was always very nice and pleasant. We had a ton of fun doing it too and would recommend to anyone else wanting to do some wedding practice.

"I love Champion Ballroom..."
I love Champion Ballroom. My girlfriend and I have been taking lessons from Rhonda for a year and a half. We dance the major dances and we have some nice steps and variations to enhance our basic steps. Everyone is pleasant and the Friday night dance parties are lots of fun. To top it all off: there are no contracts, just very low prices for the high level of instruction that we have received. I highly recommend Champion Ballroom.

"...She taught us a wonderful routine in just 3 lessons..."
My fiancé and I took lessons from Rhonda for our wedding. She is fabulous! She taught us a wonderful routine in just 3 lessons. The lessons are very reasonably priced and there is no pressure to buy a package/extra things. Will definitely go back for any dancing needs in the future!

"My fiancé and I took lessons from Lizza and had a great time. She was patient to learn how we learned best and made sure that we were happy with the results and offered every possible extra help. Our first dance is going to be amazing because of her!"

"...You won’t feel overwhelmed as a beginner..."
"Instructors are real professionals. They pay great attention to detail and really focus on improving your technique. Great classes for people of all levels. You won’t feel overwhelmed as a beginner and won’t be bored if you are advanced. They have multiple different classes and socials every week so it’s almost like a dance school instead of a dance class. They are super flexible with the packages and accommodated my schedule since I am on call often."
