Our Story

D&J Ballroom began as a passion project between two dancers—D (Diana) and J (James)—who met during a ballroom showcase in Los Angeles. Their shared love for ballroom led them to create an accessible space for others who wanted to explore dance deeply without feeling intimidated.

What started as a small blog has grown into a trusted resource for dancers across the globe. Our location in the cultural hub of San Jose keeps us connected to a vibrant performing arts scene, and we’re proud to be part of such a creative community.
