Open Level Ballroom for Kids and Teens
(Private Lessons)
We teach Waltz, Tango, Cha Cha, Jive and more in our ballroom dance program for kids and teens. We offer private lessons for your child or teen to work one-on-one with one of our qualified ballroom dance instructors.
​
Our youth ballroom instructors, Tais Zhukova and Arthur Nabok, have both been dancing since the age of five and have many years of experience working with children and competitive dancers of all ages. If your child is interested in competing, Tais and Arthur can help guide them along the way, as they were 2022 Open Amateur Ballroom National Finalists and have many other competitive titles themselves. Currently trained by Olga and Dima Sukachov, Tais and Arthur have an excellent handle on technique and how to tailor a dance education to make it fun and engaging for children of all ages.
