"I was a social ballroom dancer and wanted to try Pro-Am latin dancing. With Vlad's teaching, in a short period of time, I was able to compete at a national level, with many awards. Vlad has the vision, the passion, the talent and the knowledge to help you develop and succeed as a dancer, no matter what your level is or what your goals are. I especially respect Vlad for continuing to push himself to learn and grow every day as a dancer, competitor, and a teacher. I have had amazing experiences dancing and competing, and made great friends at the studio!"

“I began dancing with Vlad for a 2024 fundraising event with no prior dance experience. He shared his passion and skill thoughtfully, encouraging me every step of the way. He helped me love ballroom dancing! Over the past year, I've become stronger and more confident, and I look forward to dancing with him for many years.”

“Vlad is a committed teacher whose excellence and knowledge inspire students. I began as a bronze-level dancer in 2016 and progressed to Gold Open under his guidance, studying Latin, Rhythm, and Smooth. I have stood on the podium at the Blackpool Dance Festival thanks to his support and encouragement.”

“Vlad is an exceptional ballroom dance instructor and pro-am competition partner. His expertise spans all styles allowing his students to develop a well-rounded skill set. His dedication to his craft is evident in every lesson where he consistently arrives on time and is fully prepared. Vlad’s feedback is always honest and constructive providing students the guidance they need to achieve their full potential. For anyone seeking a dance teacher who combines technical expertise with genuine care for student success, I highly recommend Vlad.”

“ I simply would never have been able to flourish as a dancer without Vlad’s level of professionalism and technique.  He was able to significantly improve my dance skills in a short period of time.  I learned more in a few months than I had in years with my previous instructors.  After just one year together we placed first in Ohio Star Ball RS Open! If you’re serious about achieving your dance goals, I highly recommend Vlad.”

Vlad and I have danced together for 11 years! He is a attentive and hardworking teacher who wants you to be the best that you can be. He shares his love of dance as well as technique for overall improvement. I am fortunate to be his student.

“Vlad shows constant encouragement that inspires me to always improve and grow as a dancer. He is both tough and caring when he teaches, and I always feel like I’m improving with every lesson. I truly enjoy every minute! Dance has genuienly changed my life for the better, and I would not trade it for the world.”

“Vlad has been my dance instructor in ballroom, smooth, and Latin dancing. As an instructor he’s been encouraging, clear and challenging. As a pro/am dance partner he’s been an excellent and supportive lead and we’ve received many dance placements and awards “

“I started dancing with Vlad about 8 years ago. If you are looking for a teacher who will help you be your best, you found him! He is an incredible teacher and partner and will always push you to be your best, and for that, I am most thankful and proud to call him my pro/am dance partner.”

I enjoy Vlad's high energy and attention to detail teaching Latin dancing. His positive "We can do it!” attitude enables me to pursue achieving my best as a Latin dancer and competitor.

“My husband and I have been taking classes with Vlad as our instructor for several months. We find him personable, knowledgeable, and someone who makes us feel at ease. We look forward to our lessons. He is always prompt, attentive, and understanding of his students needs. We have observed him working with all age groups, from children to seniors like ourselves. He is very well-liked by the dance community. We feel fortunate to have him as our instructor.”

We have been dancing together almost every week since 2017.  We even had lessons weekly via zoom during Covid. I call him Mr. Reliable !  Vlad is  supportive  and encourages me to be the best dancer I can be in each chapter of my dancing journey.  The bonus is becoming friends with every member of Team Vlad!

“Vlad is an exceptional ballroom dance instructor with years of experience, bringing both skill and passion to every lesson. His deep knowledge of technique, combined with his patient and encouraging teaching style, makes learning both enjoyable and effective. His passion for dance was truly inspiring, and I’m grateful for everything I learned from him!”
