The lessons here are shaped by the dancer who made the final four.

Allen Genkin was one of twelve chosen nationally for Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro. He made the final four, and he shapes how this studio teaches, alongside Nadia Eftedal, a five time silver medalist.

You get the same thinking behind a national television routine, aimed at the dance you actually want to do.
