About Our Studio

Dancesmiths strives daily to provide quality in everything they do. Whether it is a lesson, a competition, a party, or an Ultimate Vacation; we want everyone to have a blast dancing and learning to dance. We have a very simple idea of how ballroom dance lessons should go: fun and easy. That is the main focus for all levels, from beginners to dancesport competitors. Dancesmiths teaches two types of dances: Rhythm dances and Smooth dances .  These two types include social and party dancing; ballroom and Latin dances; and dancesport or competitive dancing. Please go to the Styles of Dance page for more information on specific dances. Dancesmiths staff is made entirely of full-time, certified, professional dance instructors. They feel that the best lessons are taught by instructors who spend their days training to teach better dance lessons and working on their own dancing. With this in mind, all dance instructors are tested regularly by the Fred Astaire National Council of Dance. All certifications must meet Dancesmiths high standards; passing is not good enough. All instructors must receive Highly Commended marks in their dance tests. The tests consists of leading and following each dance to music, and solo demonstrations for each pattern in each dance.   Ballroom dancing and dancesport is alive in Bartlett!
