About us
A group dedicated to dancing for social, emotional, and physical health. We are a dance studio, but also a community of people who love to use dance as a means to express ourselves and meet people that you would otherwise get a chance to meet. Whether it's taking a dance class together, or creating practice groups, going out dancing, building a flash mob, or watching a dance related movie together, we want to do that with you. The Viscount Dance Studio offers classes, dances, practice space, dance parties, and even a dance-film movie night (if you can call Xanadu a film!). We are all about the people and relationships that are formed here, and the transformations people see in their lives when they enter a dance community. Come join us!

Bollywood Dance is a fusion of different dance forms including: Hip-hop, Jazz, Indian Classical, Indian Folk, Bhangra and everything else you can imagine. It is a great way to have fun while getting a good workout. Students of all ages and all fitness levels are welcome to join this class seeing as the tendency to enjoy this upbeat, energetic dance is universal. Bollywood is also a very simple dance style to learn, again making it the perfect dance for any age. Bollywood dance is definitely the most fun way to get fit as it provides a workout that is much more fun than the tread mill, hands down. Or should we say, hands up and waving like mad!
This class is taught in choreography form! You'll learn a progressing routine which helps you develop muscle memory and gives you something specific to practice at home or at Bollywood events! Anjali, being the renown DJ that she is, will no doubt have a sweet sweet tune for your choreo. Enjoy!!!!

New to Swing dancing? Been to a few drop-in lessons around town and looking for more? This is the class for you!
Designed as a 3-month series, each month-long session of Beginning Social Swing will focus on a slightly different aspect of what makes Swing so great. With its roots in Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, and Charleston, Swing dancing continues to steal hearts all over the world, and Portland is legitimately head over heels!
Each month, we take the first two weeks to focus on the basic steps that will get you flowing and moving on the social dance floor. Then, in the second two weeks we put those basic skills to use and learn something new! Come back each month to solidify your basics and expand your vocabulary.

Charleston 1: "Charleston Fun!" As in Fun-damentals. It’s not just for flappers anymore! Charleston was revitalized in the Lindy Hop era and was (is!) a very popular option when partner dancing, especially to fast music. The Lindy version of Charleston is a little more grounded than its 1920s forefunner, is usually danced side by side, and offers opportunity to mix in exciting new footwork!
Prerequisite: Minimum of three months of Beginning Social Swing or instructor approval.
