Dance competitively
Competition can be an important part of the ballroom dance experience. It provides a wonderful tool through which every student can challenge themselves regardless of their level of dancing.
Pro-Am Competition consists of a professional instructor dancing with
an amateur student. This is a great opportunity for
the student to experience the thrill of competitive
dancing with the safety net of a professional's experience
to guide them.
Competitive categories are broken down into age categories,
levels of proficiency, and hours of instruction taken.
New students may compete after only 25 lessons in the
Novice division!
Some people compete for fun and others for the challenge.
In the end, the result is the same — their dancing
improves.
Competitions also offer a wide array of social settings
from casual breakfasts through formal banquets. Best
of all they encourage camaraderie between individuals
with a common interest. Each competition is a new learning
experience and a fascinating opportunity to expose oneself
to great dancing.
Should you be more seriously interested in competition,
we also offer coachings, seminars and workshops with
the best coaches and choreographers
in the United States and Europe. These individuals also
work with the best competitive professionals in our
studio while they are here as well as other professionals
from the metropolitan area who avail themselves of these
coaches' "limited engagement" presence at
our Fred Astaire West Side.
