Ballroom and Salsa Dance Lessons

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. As Dance Instructors for over 50 years (combined), Laura and I feel it is very important to find the right studio for your child or yourself. We always want the best education, but when it comes to dancing, many feel choosing a dance studio is not as important. Going down the street to the nearest studio is easy and convenient but may not be the best decision. Checking out dance schools for the quality of their teachers, their accreditation, class size, and price are paramount. The most important element in a dance studio is the teaching staff. Look for teachers who are accredited through dance accrediting organizations. These teachers have credentials behind them as they have been tested and approved. Look for teachers who are concerned about teaching proper technique not just steps in dancing. Good technique can make or break a student. Remember, you get what you pay for, so less isn't always better.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. If I were a customer what I would wish I knew about the dance trade would be how qualified are the instructors.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. The most important element in a dance studio is the teaching staff. Our teachers are certified and are award winning instructors. They are concerned in teaching proper technique and not just steps in dancing. The International Dance Studio has produced 5 World Champions in different styles of dance! Let us have the opportunity to teach you to dance so anyone will want to be your partner!

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. Teaching beginners to dance is always the most rewarding. Taking someone from their first basic steps and watching how they mature and grow is satisfying.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. The most common question we get asked by customers is if we can teach someone with two left feet. Our answer is that we can teach them to dance so anyone will want to be their partner!

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. Although Laura and I are known for Salsa, winning the World Championship, we have been award winning DanceSport competitors and teach other styles of dance as well, including Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Waltz, Bolero, Tango, Paso Doble, Swing, Merengue, Bachata, Jive Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Disco, and much, much, more! We are proud to coach several World Champions, including the World Junior Latin Champions, the World Merengue Champions, the World Junior and Youth Salsa Champions, the World Junior and Youth Showdance Champions, and the World Tango Champions to name a few. We have trained more dancers in Ballroom dancing for "So You Think You Can Dance" than any other studio in Florida including season 5 winner Jeanine Mason. We brought Ballroom and Salsa to the AAU Junior Olympic Games and were their first directors.
