Private Lesson Students may also decide
to compete with their instructors at local DanceSport Competitons
in the Professional / Amateur Division.
Competing at the Pro-Am Level takes
a great deal of discipline & practice. Many students find
this an ideal goal when starting a rigorous round of Private
Lessons.
Pro-Am Competitions take place
throughout the US & include venues for International Latin
& Standard, American Smooth & Rhythm, & the Swing Dances.
