Our studio could be exactly what you need to take your performance to the next level. We have nationally acclaimed and award winning instructors, we are in the loop and regularly participate in many national competitions, and we host monthly some of the most respected coaches from around the country and the world.

We seriously doubt that you decided to pursue ballroom dancing because you needed another activity to fill your dull and boring life.  Most of us barely have time to watch the Dancing with the Stars episode that we DVR’d.  Competitive dancing is a bonus—an extracurricular activity that will help us enjoy our dancing. It gives us the opportunity to try hard, to practice, to study, and become the kind of dancer we dreamed of being when we started out. If we happen to pick up a trophy ball in the process, it’s an exciting added bonus.

In essence, you will push yourself to achieve more. And wasn’t that your goal all along? All the money you invest in your dancing isn’t going into your teacher’s pocket, or your studio owner’s or competition organizer’s.  It is going into your dance education, your self-improvement, your confidence, and your happiness. It’s also going into your poise, posture, time spent with your spouse, your personal relationships. It is going into your fantasy of wearing rhinestones and being swept off your feet, your weight-loss goals, your health, and your relaxation.  When you have successfully completed a competition, you will have improved your dancing more than if you took ten lessons in one day.
