About us
Our foundation establishes Dancesport programs and teams at universities, colleges, high schools, and middle schools. We train students in competitive ballroom dancing for couples and in competitive formation dancing. In addition, we assist them in entering Dancesport competitions at appropriate levels so that they may gauge their progress. The dancers also perform at their respective schools and throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
We also organize the Desert Challenge. This youth and intercollegiate competition is open to all students and is held each year on the fourth weekend of April. This event allows students to gauge their progress against competitors and meet other students who love ballroom dancing.
