Ballroom dancing, but perhaps too young...?

Hey, I've been really into dancing since we did our dance portion for gym class this year. So I've been looking for ballroom and hip hop dance classes, and i have found luck with hip hop classes, but not for ballroom dancing! I'm 16, and all the ballroom dancing classes are for older people who are about to get married and stuff, and for most, you need to already have a partner. =[

So anywho, my question is, are there classes for teenagers who want to learn ballroom? (such as foxtrot, jitterbug, salsa, etc.) And plus I don't want to be paired up with a much older man, and I'd rather not do private lessons.
 
I don't know where you are, but most places I know of have group classes for all ages, and in them, all the ladies dance with all the men, in rotation. A few offer kids' lessons, but most don't. It's quite odd that you'd have to have a partner. You won't fit in well in the ballroom environment if you object to dancing with old men, though: the social customs are such that you are pretty well expected to dance with guys aged nine and ninety, and all in between. It is, after all, a dance class, and not to be confused with a dating service.
