About this gym
Since 1981, Michele Evans taught ballet and then ballroom dancing throughout Connecticut, eventually opening her own studio, Hartford Ballroom Dance Studio, in 2009 at the West Hartford Masonic Hall. In 2015 her children Lisa Spiro and Nate Evans took over the business and relocated it to 56 Arbor St, sharing the former Underwood Typewriter facility with other Hartford artists. Since Nate's passing in 2026, Lisa Spiro continues to run the studio, which is built around a family-style dance community. Hartford Ballroom's mission is to make ballroom dancing fun and easy to learn. Group classes are walk-in only with no registration or partner required, and private lessons are booked and paid for one appointment at a time rather than as a prepaid package.
