Holiday Season Kick-Off

Our spectacular team entered the holiday season by participating in a beautiful ballroom dance event - the South Open Dancesport Championships in Orlando. For four days, from December 6 through December 9, our dancers of different ages and levels represented our dance studio and showcased their dance skills.

During the lively Nightclub session, the students embraced the fun of dressing up in costumes, and it was heartwarming to see so many first-time participants stepping onto the floor with confidence. That night we cheered for the dancers performing social dances - Salsa, Bachata, Hustle, Argentine Tango, and Paso Doble.

S Style Dance Team at the South Open Dancesport Championships 2024

Our Ladies Formation Team shone on the dance floor with their new dance number. It was great to see new faces in the team. Ladies showed significant improvement in their technique and artistic performance. The energy was going through the roof, and we received lots of compliments from other guests.

Our students competed in American Smooth, Rhythm, and International Latin styles, delivering remarkable performances. Their dedication was evident as they danced with newfound confidence and grace, showing significant improvement in their technique and presentation. All the students looked fabulous and stood out on the dance floor.

We are thrilled to announce that S Style Dance Team won the prestigious Top Large Studio Award of 2024! This incredible honor would not have been possible without the hard work and passion of our students who brought their dreams to life on the dance floor.

Special congratulations to our standout students:

  • Chris for winning the Top Newcomer Male Student award.
  • Terri for earning the Top Newcomer Female Student award.
  • Colby for claiming the Top Gold Male award.

Our professionals also had a stellar weekend! Congratulations to our intructors Marat Zhumabekov & Alena Chizhova, who competed in Rising Star and Open Professional American Rhythm divisions, dancing in both finals. Congratulations Brian Noon & Anastasia Taterenko, who shone in both American Smooth and International Ballroom.

We extend our gratitude to Sid Pocius for organizing such a well-run event. The stunning venue, welcoming atmosphere, and fantastic music set the stage for a truly memorable experience. We can’t wait to return next year!

These competitions are about so much more than dancing—they’re about making memories, forming new friendships, and finding inspiration in every performance. Starting the holiday season with such joy and camaraderie was the perfect way to celebrate the art of dance.

Here’s to conquering new heights together—on and off the dance floor! 🏆✨
