LOOKING FOR A PARTNER?
COME TO OUR PARTNER MIXER ON MARCH 22!

BALLROOM PARTNER MIXER

Find Your Perfect Partner at the Island Style Ballroom Partner Mixer!

Looking for a competition partner for the 2025-26 season? Join us on Saturday, March 22, for our Ballroom Partner Mixer! Connect with dancers at your level and find the right partner for the year ahead!

What To Expect:

Our coaches will review helpful tips on choosing a partner. Our coaches will also teach a basic routine in their respective styles, the students will then have the opportunity to practice these routines with each other as we rotate the dancers. After the class, students will have the chance to swap contact information of the people they have interest in setting up an official partner tryout with.

Each dancer should bring one parent. Dancers are welcome to attend sessions outside their age group (dancers are allowed to compete up age levels if they have an older partner).

For dancers who are competing at the Extreme Competition in April and/or  would like to wait until after Team placements in May we will hold a Ballroom Partner Mixer after Team Auditions in May (if needed). 

Cost: FREE!

Partner Mixer Times:

Youth Dancers: 9:30-10:30 AM
Junior Dancers: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Pre-Teen Dancers: 12:30-1:30 PM

GOOD LUCK TO ALL DANCERS!

AUDITION RESULTS WILL BE POSTED HERE ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 14 BY 6:00 PM
