Shirley

Raised in a Spanish-speaking family, her Latin dancing brings extra flair and passion to the floor. Shirley competes professionally with her students, winning awards nationwide. She also creates unforgettable routines for weddings, quinceañeras, and Sweet Sixteens—memories that last a lifetime.

She completed the rigorous 24-month Ballroom Dance Teacher’s Academy program with High Honors—mastering 23 styles! Now a certified DVIDA Dance Specialist, Paola shines as both a pro/am competitor and social dance instructor. Her energy, versatility, and passion make her an invaluable part of the team at American Dancesport Center.

Gustavo

Gustavo has been dancing since childhood, but it was in 2013 that he fell in love with Latin rhythms—and never looked back. His curiosity led him to explore the world of partner dancing and refine his skills through years of training. Now a certified DVIDA Dance Specialist, Gustavo brings energy, clarity, and heart to every lesson. His greatest joy is sharing his love for dance and inspiring others to feel confident, connected, and alive on the dance floor.

Our Teaching Method

We mix fun, structure, and personal attention to help you learn quickly and dance with confidence. Through a blend of private lessons, group classes, and social parties, you’ll build real skills while having a great time.

Private Lessons

Want to learn at your own pace, with full attention on you? Private lessons are the best way to build confidence, improve faster, and really understand how to lead or follow—no partner needed! We’re available Monday to Friday from 1pm to 9pm, so it’s easy to fit into your schedule. Whether you’re just starting out or want to sharpen your skills, private lessons make learning fun and effective.

Group classes

A great way to learn, have fun, and connect with others who love dancing too. You don’t need a partner—we switch partners throughout the class so everyone gets to dance. It’s a friendly, upbeat environment where you’ll learn new steps, build confidence, and maybe even make some new friends along the way. Whether you’re just starting out or already dancing, there’s always something exciting to try.

Student Practice Parties

Ready to put your dancing into action? Our practice parties are a fun, low-pressure way to build confidence and apply what you’ve learned. We guide you through each song—so no guesswork needed—and our instructors and dance hosts are there to support you every step of the way. The evening kicks off with a group lesson at 6pm, followed by open dancing from 7–8:30pm. Whether you come solo or with a partner, you’ll enjoy great music, good vibes, and a welcoming community.

Ballroom Dance Instructors & Hosts Wanted

Being a Ballroom & Latin Dance Instructor is a Dream Job! A.D.C. is looking for personable, smiley, energetic people to add to our award winning staff of instructors.

P/T and F/T positions available. Some dance or “Ballroom/Latin” dance experience is a plus, but not necessary. Must have ambition, a good attitude, customer service/communication skills, and most of all a desire to better yourself. Ballroom & Latin dancing creates confidence. Our pay and our “Instructor-Training/Certification” Program is excellent! Helping others to learn dance is rewarding. If you possess these qualities then, we encourage you to contact us!

We are a business. However, our business is fun! Please call us at 561.558.1234 or, email your resume to Anybodycandance@gmail.com (or simply stop by and talk to us in person).
