High Popularity for Latin Dance & Ballroom Lessons, evidenced by DWTS Cruises
Love Dancing with the Stars and love to cruise? If you haven’t already, then you should check out the Dancing with the Stars: At Sea cruises.
Holland America Line has announced its 2015-2016 cruise schedule, which can be seen here.
Per the Spectrum, this is the third year of the program and it is being continued due to enormous success and popularity.
The cruises include complimentary dance classes, dance competitions, and in the past the cruises have included Dancing with the Stars dancers (such as Kym Johnson, Lacey Schwimmer, Chelsea Hightower, Mark Ballas & Derek Hough) and past celebrity contestants (such as Shawn Johnson and Joey Fatone).
The success of these cruises once again goes to show the success of the show. It has helped fuse a love for Ballroom & Latin dance, which has led to people wanting to learn & compete these dance forms.
If you are a dance studio and you too want to take advantage of this increased popularity in these dance styles, consider offering Latin or Ballroom dance for adults, possibly in five or six week sessions (this has worked well for my own dance studio in the past). If you need a teacher for these classes, then check out Dance Teacher Finder, which has a dance teacher resume database that registered dance studios can access. It is a great way to bring new students into your dance studio and earn extra money.
