A new dance studio on South Lamar Boulevard is now offering partner dance lessons in swing, salsa and more.

Owned by Erin Frazier, Blue Moon Dance Co. opened on Oct. 14 near Kerbey Lane Cafe. From Utah, Frazier said she comes from a family of dancers and began practicing partner dance at an early age.

She moved to Austin in 2008 and was an instructor at another South Austin dance studio until it relocated north. She said it left a “giant hole in the South Austin dance community” and she hated the thought of not having a place to go. A student encouraged her to open a new studio.

What they offer

Blue Moon Dance Co. features a competition-size floating floor and offers group dance classes in the ballroom, country, Latin and swing styles. Private lessons are also offered and instructors are available to teach groups for events like weddings and quinceaneras. The studio is also available to rent.


Frazier said she is excited to be open on South Lamar Boulevard, a stretch of the city she called an “epicenter of Austin arts and culture” with nearby dance halls like Broken Spoke and Mavericks Dance Hall in Buda.
