Your teachers

Slawek & Denise

Dance brought Slawek and Denise together, and it is the love they share every day: on the competition floor, in the studio and with every student who walks in. Nothing makes them happier than watching someone fall in love with ballroom.

Both are professional dancers and certified adjudicators with US Terpsichore, so you learn with a judge’s eye as well as a dancer’s heart.

How it works

Simple from the first message.

  1. Send a request. Tell us what you’d like, which studio suits you and when you’re free.
  2. We confirm. Slawek or Denise replies to agree the time and studio. Every lesson is confirmed personally; nothing is booked automatically.
  3. Dance. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that turn easily. We’ll take it from there.

Acting classes

Acting is taking a short intermission.

Our acting groups with in-house coach Christina Cruz are paused while we gather enough students for the next one. Join the waitlist and we’ll start a group as soon as it’s full.
