Alan's classes combine solid fundamentals with a relaxed and fun atmosphere to provide an enjoyable learning experience.

Simone Assboeck, originally from Germany, began ballroom dancing when she was 7 years old and hasn't stopped since. She was a German state champion and a competitor at the prestigious Blackpool and pursued a master's degree with a focus on modern dance and rehabilitation.
