About Us....................

As open UCWDC Division 1 Classic competitors, Mark and Sheri rank among the top 25

Country & Western competitive dance couples throughout the United States – and are

considered one of the top C&W competitive couples in the state of Florida.

Background:

Their partnership began in October 1996, and they have won many top placements coast to coast since then in both C&W and hustle dance circuits. In addition to their Country Western and Hustle dance background, they also have several years of training with top ranked ballroom, swing, and theatrical arts coaches from across the nation. They also perform show exhibitions for events and clubs. Their show repertoire includes a wide variety of audience-pleasing dance styles and themes: American-style ballroom and Rhythm, New York Hustle/Disco, Salsa, Theatrical Cabaret, Swing, and Country and western.

New Group Classes Starting Every Few Weeks:

You’ll find Mark and Sheri teaching beginner dance workshops at least once or twice a month at the local nightclub Round-Up in Davie, as part of the club’s regular rotation of instructors. They also teach group classes Monday through Wednesday evenings at the Tai Kwon Do studio located just a few doors down from the club in the Pine Ridge plaza (pine island road and 5-95). They offer fun, affordable group classes starting at just $12, as well as private lessons, and teach all dance levels, from introductory to advanced.

Because they usually try to teach together when possible, students enjoy double the learning opportunities and personal attention they would normally get from a single instructor.

Pro-Am and Competition Coaching

Mark and Sheri also create competition choreography for couples, and train students for Pro-Am Competition. (Pro-Am competition is where students dance with their teachers…it offers social dancers an affordable, fun way to sample the exciting world of competition. To learn about Pro-Am competition, please see our section on Pro-Ams.)

Testimonials.................

"I have been dancing for about 2 1/2 years now and feel I owe my success to both of you. You gave me a solid foundation in the basics which I feel is the key to my growth. West Coast Swing is still the most difficult of the dances for me, but I rely on your lessons in lead and follow to better myself. Thank you for your wonderful lessons. Mary and I always guide new dancers to you guys.

Take care,"

Annie Sturman

"They have a way of teaching the little details that make all the difference in the way your dancing

feels…. tips and trick that you rarely hear in other dance classes or from other instructors."

Lisa Kloskowski. From Lantana

"I can’t tell you how many times I’ve struggled with patterns or material I’ve learned somewhere else…I

bring it to them and after a couple of small fixes…it feels GREAT"

Peter Sgarlata From Hollywood

	"Outstanding instructors…they know how to break patterns down and really explain how to do something in an easy way you can understand." Joan Deluca From Wellington
Worlds Dance Championship

"A pleasure to work with…they know their stuff…but never make you feel intimidated or unsure of yourself. Their classes are always a lot of fun!"

Wayne Thompson From Pembroke Pines

"I would have rather had root canal than take another dance lesson"…that is until I meet Mark and Sheri and they changed my life, I just can't enjoy dancing more. They make it easy to understand and fun to learn." Frank From FT. Lauderdale

"I could dance with my eyes closed" and immediately tell which people have taken lessons

from you...they're that much better."

Marci Wolf From Davie

"We previously had no dance experience but now we can dance with some of the best"

Now we have a new hobby that we can do together as a couple.

Mark and Sheri have pulled us away from just a couple that could not even do the basics. They have taught us how to refine the basics plus become skilled at many cool moves. It did not take long and after just a few months we have received many compliments on how great our dancing has progressed.
Thanks Mark and Sheri!

Diane and Maurice From Coral Springs

"Thank you sooo much for the private lesson yesterday! It really helped. Everything

worked so much better on the dance floor! You are really good teachers! I just wanted to let

you know this."

Monica Lange From Coconut Creek
