Welcome to PBDA (The Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association)! It’s our 42nd Year!!

NOTE !!! — Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the devastating fires. We ARE planning to continue our weekly group classes, offering a place of camaraderie that people may need at this difficult time. For those looking for a way to help, we’ll have QR Codes at the front desk for donations to The Salvation Army & The American Red Cross. We love our wonderful Dance community, & hope we can provide some distraction, calm, & happiness through social dance. Sincerely, Tami and Erin, pbda
