With the popularity of ballroom dancing reaching its zenith, multiple dance studios are popping up all over. So, as a resident of the Greater Boston area you may find yourself wondering why you should choose Dance Fever? There are more than several simple answers, and they are the Dance Fever COACHES! Our coaching staff is as diverse as it is talented. All of our staff have had many years of competition as well as teaching. We will choose the right coach for you. We have coaches trained to work with 4 year olds, 44 year olds and even 84 year olds. Whether it's your first time on the floor or you are preparing for an international competition we will find an appropriate teacher.

Dance Fever boasts some of the top names in the dancesport sphere. Professional World Champions Michael Wentink and Beata regularly teach at Dance Fever, training some of our most elite competitive couples. These former partners have on numerous occasions been winners and finalists at the largest and most prestigious competitions worldwide, including Blackpool! Not only are they famous for their dancing, but they are two of the best coaches in the world. Their expertise in current latin technique, as well as vivid imaginations for choreography put them on every dancers top coaches list.

But the strength of our coaching team goes beyond star power. Co-owners and founders Emil and Ruta Ioukhnikov have decades of experience coaching youth and adults in Standard, Latin and social dances. Their pleasant demeanor yet old-school soviet expectations make them excellent coaches for the competitive dancer or for a social dancer. Emil and Ruta have coached couples in Israel and America who have gone on to compete and win national and international competitions. Husband and wife 10-dancers Michael and Natasha Odikadze from Georgia also bring years of expertise to Dance Fever. Both have high expectations of their students. Natasha, a former rhythmic gymnast who also teaches stretching classes, is a natural with children, while her Husband Misha is famed for his Pro-Am.

Often people say that good things come in small packages, this holds true for a more recent addition to the Dance Fever roster. Originally from the Ukraine and representing Israel for the last decade, 5 foot dynamite Yulia Bobovik brings spunk, style grace and a competitive spirit to the studio. Two time national latin champion of Israel and 2nd place national finalist in 10-dance, Yulia has a vast current knowledge and understanding of dance which she easily relays to all of her students from the 5 year olds, to the competitive teen couples, to her older male students. As she teaches, she continues to compete in her recently formed pro-am partnership with Guy Platt. Together they have won numerous open Pro-Am championship scholarship events across the nation.

Our newest addition is Canadian Amateur couple Jean-Philippe Milot and his lovely partner Laurence Bolduc. Their latest accomplishment is placing 82nd out of more than 300 international competitors at the most prestigious dance competition in the world, blackpool. As they coach Dance Fever students, they continue to compete worldwide.

Dance Fever's coaching line-up does not end there. We continue to bring in some of the top names in ballroom dancing as visiting coaches. For Standard, top amateur dancer Ronen Zinshtein, who also recently placed well at Blackpool, regularly visits Dance Fever. Boston Ballroom legend Bill Morganti recently hosted a seminar at DF and newly turned pro, latin legend Klaus Kongsdal held private lessons with us a few weeks back.

If our students are coached by the best, who better to teach newcomers than longtime students? Some may choose to take lessons with our knowledgeable competitive male dancers. These youth boys will train with each girl to dance singles with her in upcoming ballroom competitions-a great option for female dancers who have not yet found a permanent partner, or want that extra challenge. Several boys available for singles girls are Ilia Kudryavtsev, Ron Garber, Joseph Odikadze and more. Just inquire at the front desk!

So as you can easily see we offer the best coaches you can find. With great options like these, why would you go anywhere else?
