Consistent quality instruction, combined with a friendly upbeat learning environment have made his lessons popular among dancers throughout Hampton Roads. Even self-proclaimed "I can't dance" students have had great success in Rick's classes. With an uncanny ability to immediately identify different ways of teaching steps, students of every age are having fun learning to dance.
Rick Hockman is one of the most popular ballroom dance instructors in the Virginia Beach area. Rick specializes in social dance instruction and offers classes to suit any level dancer. His energetic style is designed to assist dancers of all levels in developing their abilities and techniques and helps students to rapidly progress through the skill levels. If you want to be a social dancer - Rick Hockman Dance is the studio for you. We are a great group of people who love to dance and have fun!
We welcome singles or couples to join classes. Couples can choose to stay as a pair in group lessons; however, we encourage all students to rotate and dance with different partners. By doing this, dancers are exposed to those with greater and lesser talents and it improves their ability to both lead and follow. Dancing with others is fun and makes you a better dancer.
