Who teaches you matters

Professional dancer Alexander Bell—a fun, practical teacher.

Alexander specializes in American Smooth and International Ballroom. He first discovered ballroom dancing as cross-training while recovering from a serious hip injury, then stayed for its technical challenge and artistry.

He has trained with respected coaches across the United States and internationally, won Rising Star Smooth at the Michigan Dance Challenge and CBC Dancesport, and reached the finals at the Ohio Star Ball and Chicago Harvest Moon. A finalist at many major competitions across the Midwest, Alexander brings that competitive experience into practical, personal teaching.
