Teachers in Washington DC

[Warren J. Dew]

She is, though not as much as she used to.

I think she'd make a good coach for a competing couple, then. She has an excellent competition record plus a few decades' of teaching experience since.

For me the best teachers in the area are the ladies. In latin both olga checkhova and lydia petrigova are pretty strong. Depending on what you need to work on one could be a better fit but you should try them both. If you are doing open choreography and need some flare I'd say lydia would prob be best. If you are a syllabus dancer and want to really nail down the basics and quality olga is your girl. Also they each have completely different styles of teaching... One will nurture you and one will beat you with a stick...

Are you being nurtured or beaten with a stick, Sync? Or do you take from both and enjoy both approaches?

I'm almost certainly more in need of a beating with a stick than nurturing at the moment. Which one does that?

Sasah (alex) Senko is great!!!!!!!!!! He is often at the studio of Polina and Igor's. (and teaches at others) But (and I could be very wrong here, so I would call him and ask.) thought he injured his foot?! (I know it has been a bit, but how recent I am not sure) Can anyone correct me? His dancing is beautiful!

Where in DC does he teach? Anyone have his contact info?

You can always call Atlantic Ballroom. I am sure Polina or Igor can give you his contact info.

I just did a search under registrants for senko and didn't find it. Am I missing something?

Help finding instructors in DC area.

Hello Dancers!
I might be moving to the DC area in the next 6 months or so... I've been trying to research instructors in that area (I currently compete Pro/Am open gold American rhythm) Does anyone know of any reputable Pro male instructors in that area? (... and I'm really trying to avoid a large franchise studio).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance, Annie
