Words truly cannot explain how amazing this place is. When we started looking for our venue, bringing in our own food and alcohol was very important to us because my husband loves TOP shelf whiskey. We looked at two other places before looking here and once we walked in, we just knew. This place is beautiful all on its own and you do not even need to get crazy with decorations if you don't want to. There is a truly natural, vintage beauty that comes with being inside here. We worked with Rebekah, and she went above and beyond. From meetings beforehand to the million emails I would send her with questions, she made me feel like the only bride she was working with. During my big day, we completely forgot to pick up the desserts and I was about to panic. She told me not to worry and she would go pick them up. This is a place that really cares about the people that are going to have their big day there. They go out of their way to make sure your day is everything you want it to be and more. To top everything off, I send Rebekah a picture of what I was wanting, dropped everything off to her the morning of and she made it come to life more than I could have imagined.

If you're looking for a fun thing to do on your own or with your special someone, check out the private and group dance classes at Vintage Ballroom. The ballroom is located near Kaneko and Thunderhead Brewing. There's lots of meter parking and great distance to other shops and restaurants. When you walk in the hallway you can see cute, vintage decor like old photo frames hanging on the wall and an awesome red velvet couch. As you enter the ballroom you can see the bar area and of course a ballroom. There's sometimes wedding decor in sight, that's because they're not only a dance studio but also a wedding venue! A little about the classes, my fiance and I have been taking private dance lessons for a few weeks now with Michael, one of the dance instructors. He's been super patient and helpful and guides us every step of the way. We've also been trying out their group classes which is open to anyone and it's only $10. We've learned basics of jive and foxtrot so far. Its been a great experience so far and we can't wait till out next class. Their dance classes change every month so check them out on their Facebook!

I attended the cha cha group class and had a blast. I was very nervous, but I'm really glad I went! I have literally never done dance, and the instructor was super understanding and helpful and started with the basics. Highly recommend. Very fun.

Beautiful space and amazing owners! Great downtown location! Call them for events!

Located in the heart of downtown Omaha this is a great place to try out a dance lesson or two while learning from the best. This unique venue also doubles as a rental facility for various parties. I love the atmosphere and the culture that they have instilled within the decorations. Derek does a phenomenal job with teaching the basics and the advanced skills of traditional dance. There are open dance nights if anyone is interested in practicing their skills. Looking to tango, rumba, or waltz, call Derek. I have the highest level of respect for him and his business. Great way to bond over a hobby that is beyond magical.

Unfortunately, we had a stressful bad experience. From not having enough electrical plugs, bad drinks (their bar tenders dismissed our drink instructions), not well air conditioned room (even though the room was not at full capacity) to having the manager asking our guests to leave the place even before the agreeable time. The rate might be good compared to others places but it is not free, we wished we would have paid a little bit more and free ourselves from a rough start and end of our big day; hope we can save you the stress, pain and $! we even took the time to let our mind and feelings calm down before writing this review.

I have had lessons had Vintage, worked with them for YES Charity Events, and have had the honor to get to know the owners. They are kind, patient with amateurs, and have a GORGEOUS venue. I would absolutely recommend their venue and lessons. Wonderful people, beautiful venue.

We had our wedding here in August 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Not only was theirs venue accommodating, but Rebekah kept us up to date with city restrictions and even offered to move our date if we wanted to move it to 2021. She and her team were so caring and helpful throughout the process. If you are looking for a venue with style and heart, this is the place for you. I cannot sing their praises enough. Rebekah made our day memorable to the point I would choose this place over and over again.

By far the most professional dance teacher in Omaha. Derek has a way of tailoring lessons to suit the students he is teaching. Having been involved in many weddings here, I have seen Rebekah's professionalism stand out through any circumstance. I would give Vintage Ballroom 10 stars if Yelp let me.
