About
Hi! Thanks for checking my profile!
I’m happy to help you!
I teach all ballroom styles, and can do so in English, Spanish and Romanian :)
I have been teaching Latin, Rhytm and Ballroom dancing since 2001, and Bachata and Salsa since 2005. I teach group classes and private lessons primarily in Austin but can travel for special events.
For people that are interested in more than social dancing, I was the undefeated Romanian National Latin Champion in the junior and under 21 divisions at the ages of 12-15 and 18-19, and later Vice Champion in the adult category.
Looking forward to working with you!

Me and My fiance have been taking lessons from Stefan in preparation for the first dance at our wedding. From the very start Stefan has been an AMAZING teacher and we couldn't be more happy with our choice in dance teachers. I do and will continue to highly recommend him for anyone looking to get into lessons!
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Slow Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location

Definitely a 5 Star experience. Stefan is a gifted instructor and gives the subtle feedback, constantly, to improve form and movement. I have taken dancelessons from a larger chain for 8 months and learnt the mechanical motions, but never flowed. I then tried Stefan and light bulbs popped off. I feel I made more progress in one class than I have in months elsewhere.
Details: 46-65 • Two people • Salsa • Beginner • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • My home, venue, etc.

It was a great intro session! I like how Stefan knows the theory behind different types of dance and developed a curriculum to teach in a systematic way. He’s very professional and knowledgeable! Definitely booking more classes with him in the future!
Details: 18-25 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Ballroom • Intermediate • Preparing for an event / performance • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Stefan makes you feel comfortable, and he has a natural tendency to ask questions in a attempt to get you too open up. Learning to dance can mentally be taxing, and people tend to internalize short falls and inabilities. I have found with both me and my partner, that alot of our difficulties was how we mentally pictured the moves vs actually applying them. Him attempting different methods of vocalizing what we were attempting to accomplish, has guided us in the needed direction to become our best selves on the dance floor. Where one may begin lessons with the intent of looking cool knowing how to dance, Stefan has a way of transforming your outlook into communication with others through the elegance dance.
Details: 26-35 • Two people • Bachata • No experience • Preparing for a wedding • 45 minutes • As recommended by professional • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Stefan is amazing! My husband and I never dance but we actually enjoyed learning our dance because of him. He’s so kind and patient - we never felt intimidated doing our classes. Book him!

FAQs

Discounts come with packages but there are time limits to that. Discounts apply to the most dedicated ones
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Meet and greet, make sure I understand the needs of the customer and if I cannot satisfy it I’ll make sure I’ll point the customer in the right direction.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Besides 20 years of teaching I have 2 years of specific coaching school in Romania that qualifies me to teach kids and adults without causing injuries.
