Owners Gene Bersten and Elena Bersten are not only exceptional instructors, but accomplished ballroom champions themselves. They actively compete in Professional Latin competitions across the country and bring that high-level experience directly into their teaching.
Gene and Elena have been featured on So You Think You Can Dance and have performed in Burn the Floor, one of the most prestigious ballroom dance shows in the world.
