IF YOU WANT A DANCE PERSONAL COACH WE ARE THE STUDIO FOR YOU! Besides our Ballroom training, we have experience and an understanding of the theatrics of dance which combines acting and acrobatics with both floor and arial tricks to incorporate into your dancing. We have experience in the physiology of exercise and biomechanics so we understand how the body moves and reacts and how it benefits through movement and dancing. We feel and express our dancing from the depth of our soul and want you to experience the same. We are not self taught. We are true professional with years of training from other reputable professional legends, years of grueling practice, performing and competing, teaching and sweat equity. We did not learn by just watching others and proclaiming to be professionals. We don't just teach steps, nor just flash and trash. We are intentional and serious about teaching you so that you may dance "well" for the rest of your life on any dance floor. We teach you an experience via a methodical system that produces results and we teach your entire body from the ground up and all of your being to dance. What we teach you and show you about dancing will fascinate you and be intoxicating. We hope to addict you to a world of continuous, passionate self expression and pleasurable execution.

Our experience makes us able to diagnose your symptoms and provide you with a variety of choices and solutions in which to learn your Ballroom dances such as: the American and International Styles, the social and competitive levels. If you wish to perform, a routine can be choreographed for you so you can shine and live your fantasy.
Your learning environment - Smoke-free on a floating oak wood floor, fully mirrored wall and computerized music (with a speed control so you can have the music played at a comfortable speed for you until you are ready for the regular tempo). We will even videotape your progress if you wish and we will encourage you to take notes. We will guide you through the dance experience with kid gloves and tough love.
The Cincinnati Salsa Club (our social club at the studio), was created on March 27th 2004 with a kick-off dance and growing membership. Our goal is to get together with our students and their friends on the 4th Saturday of each month, teach a Salsa lesson and practice Salsa dancing putting into application all the fun new patterns being learned. The level of Salsa was still very young here in Cincinnati when we started. Butwith our training and experience from such cities as New York, L.A., and Chicago, and others, we helped to get Salsa on the map in Cincinnati and we could see everybody improving and enjoying themselves. Ourstudents and area dancers came to our parties to practice and improve before going out to the public venues. We've put Salsa on the map in Cincinnati and we are the first to take Salsa dancing to a new level in Cincinnati since 2004 and we continue to do so like no one else. It has become a great source of exercise, fun, networking and socializing. By popular request, we have brought back our monthly Salsa Social on every 4th Saturday.. Check our calendar for the next party date and times or give us a call. Our very exciting music list gets updated to make our monthly dances even more enjoyable and FUN! All good dancers are well practiced. We hope to see you at our upcoming parties! Visit our Contact us page to let us know if you are interested in attending.
