Welcome to Waltz Time
Waltz Time is an all-volunteer group of dancers who have produced the usually twice-monthly waltzes at Glen Echo Park since 1995. The group has donated all net proceeds to the renovation of the Spanish Ballroom and the Bumper Car Pavilion, and to help continue Park programs. All of the waltz dances are held at Glen Echo Park, 7300 MacArthur Blvd., Glen Echo, MD 20812 in the Spanish Ballroom (SBR) or in the Bumper Car Pavilion (BCP).
In addition to social waltz dances, we offer frequent waltz classes for all levels of dancers in a variety of locations in the DC-MD-VA area. Please visit our Waltz Classes page for dates, locations, class information, and registration links.
