About Our Dance Studio

Dancesport professional Anastassia Abramenko established the ballroom dance studio in September 2014. Our studio boasts beautiful hardwood floors, great sound system, fun lighting and a prime location for all Central Florida residents.
We have three main dance instructors. Each instructor is a dedicated teacher, dance coach and professional dancer with top credentials. We also host guest dance teachers and performers during special events and workshops. Please call to learn more information about our dance studio events.
Please call, email or message us on facebook. If you would like to attend a group class, simply sign up and register via our calendar. We have ample parking space available for large tour groups.
Of course. You are not required to have a ballroom dance partner to join our studio. Contact Anastassia for more details.

Dance Advice

Per National Dance Council of America (NDCA), customers should consider the type of dance, the studio facilities, dance policies, teaching schedules available, instructor style and dance studio reviews.
Questions to ask yourself:
-What type / style of dance interests you?
-What are your dance goals (competitive, social, other)?
-What are your dance motivations?

Questions to ask your instructor:
-How many years have you been dancing?
-Do you compete in dancesport events?
-How long have you competed in dancesport events as a professional?
-Have you won any professional dancesport championships?
-What's the most important thing you've learned about teaching dance?
-Can you accommodate my busy schedule?
Cellular or internet connection, and a computer with webcam or camera phone. Most cell phones and tablets will work well, though a tripod or stand is recommended for our instructors to best instruct your dancing skills. Sign up for our online ballroom dance lessons and video classes today!

What to Wear

We want you to feel comfortable dancing! Your clothes should always allow for flexible movements. Wear comfy attire that flows with your body. Avoid tight fitting clothes that will restrict your motion. A collared shirt, dress pants, loose dresses and skirts are preferred for rehearsal performances. Although we live in Florida, we recommend wearing dress shoes. Please avoid extra high heels and beach sandals. Wearing shoes with support and a small low to medium heels are optimal for both men and women. 2.5" heel is standard for women's shoes. Dance skirts are optional.
