He has been complimented on numerous occasions on his wonderful and strong partnering skills, his hard work ethic, his determination, and passion for dancing and performing. Gene dances with his heart and soul and always delivers a meaningful performance full of passion.
These classes can be enjoyed by dancers of all ages, no partner is needed! Latin and Standard technique classes aim to help dancers improve their technique. Each class is centered around one dance.

Great place to learn ballroom dance - whether you do it for fun or want to dance competitively. Gene and Elena, the studio owners are very knowledgeable and passionate about their art (does not hurt that they are FANTASTIC dancers themselves!).
Our children has been dancing with the studio since 2011, and we are thrilled to bring them to the place where they see first hand how thoughtful and dedicated practice produces good results (both from the teachers and fellow dancers). Dance With Us America is the place where our kids experience first hand the joy of dance, and where hard work is encouraged

What a great place to learn ballroom dancing! I love the teachers - professional and actively competing dancers themselves, they are truly inspiring! They are fantastic at explaining and demonstrating the technical and artistic aspects of every dance. My children have been taking dance with Gene, Lena (and now Vassily too) for over 3 years, and they love coming to their lessons and classes. The teachers are demanding and encouraging - a winning combination that keeps inspiring dancers, young and old!
I would highly recommend this studio!
