INTERESTED IN PRO-AM COMPETITION?
Private Lesson Students may also decide to compete with their instructors at local DanceSport Competitons in the Professional / Amateur Division.

Pro-Am Competitions take place throughout the US & include venues for International Latin & Standard, American Smooth & Rhythm, & the Swing Dances.
