Teachers in Washington DC

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

The Promenade - independent studio - located in Woodlawn/Security area of Baltimore approx 1/2 hour out of DC
Atlantic Ballroom (where I go) - independent studio in Towson, MD
Chevy Chase Ballroom - I believe is independant in DC
Crown Dance Studio - I believe is independant Fairfax, VA (just outside of DC)
Hollywood Ballroom - I believe is independant DC
Du-Shor Dance Studio - I believe is independant in Bethesda, MD (pretty much DC)

Do a search on here or TC will be along and pop in with said previous threads which would be a good read for you.

Also there are a ton of GREAT instructors around.

PS look on the NDCA website there is a directory there of instructors (some) in MD.
Also you can contact US Dance . org or
http:// dcdancenet.com /coaches/ <---- great resource for all DC dancing. this is the coaches page. I put space in between to deactivate the link. but here you can find, coaches, comps, ballrooms, etc .... happy hunting.
 
Hollywood Ballroom is in Silver Spring, MD, not in DC.

There is a lot of international style dancing in DC but not a lot of American style. But I am sure that any of the latin instructors here can teach American rhythm since it's looking more and more like latin these days anyway. Slava Sergiev, Sasha Senko, Genya Bartashevich, Igor and Nikolai Pilipenchuk, Garry Gekhman and Gonzalo Zambrana all do or have done pro/am before so you can get in touch with one of them when ready... One or more of them may have even competed pro/am in rhythm.

One currently competing American style couple that is somewhat in the area (I think they are somewhere in VA) are John and Leisa Howard.
 
Joe and Leisa Howard are fantastic, but they're Arthur Murray (actually the AM dance directors for the region). They train a top notch staff and run many of the classes themselves, but I don't know if either has any room left for new private students, and even by pro-am standards, AM is pricey.
