Trying to think of a fun, affordable way to enjoy your Valentine’s Day regardless of your relationship status? Look no further. Skip the gym and burn those calories on the dance floor. If you’ve been avoiding learning how to dance because you don’t know how or where to go, your time has come. Here’s one suggestion: the Avant Garde Ballroom in Newport.

This is a fun, relaxed environment to learn or refine your dancing skills. The Avant Garde Ballroom is a studio that offers group lessons in a multitude of styles including ballroom, Latin, swing, Argentine tango, hustle, salsa and West Coast swing throughout the week. Regardless of your range of abilities, you and your friends will enjoy moving your feet and burning a few Valentine’s Day chocolate calories while you’re at it. The cost is $12 for an individual class or you can buy yourself a package. Thursday nights there’s a salsa lesson from 9-10 p.m., and then open salsa night until 1 a.m. You can check the daily schedule of classes on their Web site.

Try something new to stay fit and make memories this Valentine’s Day.
