Dancing Well provides dances for veterans and families affected by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and brain injury. We have recently returned to in-person dancing in addition to online dance opportunities!
IN-PERSON DANCING HAS RESUMED!
We would love to see you in person! Dancing Well has resumed in-person dancing in a beautiful indoor setting. Whether you are a veteran, a family member or loved one, or a potential volunteer, please contact us if you are interested in joining us. You can reach us here.

Dances take place once a week, but you do not have to attend every session. All dances are taught and prompted by a caller. Our two wonderful musicians provide live music, adding energy and fun and allowing us to adjust the tempo and length of dances so everyone is comfortable dancing.
No prior experience is necessary to participate, and dances will be adapted to meet your needs. Feel free to come on your own or with family members or a friend. Friendly volunteers help fill out the dance sets and provide partners as needed.
We provide a supportive family environment and an opportunity to connect and network with other veterans and veteran families. For those with kids, we provide two options. Parents can make use of our on-site child care and have a “date night out,” or kids can dance with us, providing a fun evening of dance for the whole family.
“I wish we could do this every day.”
All dances are free and open to the public, but you must sign up to participate. Transportation may be available. To learn more, click here to contact us via our web form or call 502.889.6584.
We hope to see you on the dance floor!
