About Metropolitan Dance Center

Named the 6th Best Thing to Do in Stamford by Mofflymedia.com, Metropolitan Dance Center has been in business in Stamford for more than 12 years. The owner, Steven Dougherty comes with a wealth of business and dance experience—featured on America’s Ballroom Challenge, a national and world dance champion, he has garnered a revered reputation within the ballroom community through his extensive knowledge and training. Backed by a team of certified instructors, they teach students to glide across the dance floor through their progressive curriculum, which is certified by the Dance Vision International Dance Association. They map students’ progress as they teach them to sway and samba through Latin and ballroom moves during group and private lessons. They also help couples to perfect their first newlywed spin across the dance floor with private wedding-dance lessons customized to the beat of the couple’s wedding song or first shared Morse-code message. The studio also hosts practice sessions, allowing burgeoning dancers to mix and mingle, practicing their new dance moves to a variety of tunes in a comfortable environment.
