Phoenix Ballroom Academy is a welcoming place to learn to dance! The floor is a real floating floor. My teachers, Jordan and Iliana, and constantly encouraging me while giving me feedback to improve my dancing.

Ross has been one of the best ballroom instructors that I've ever had in my over 20 years of dancing! He has cleaned up my technique and made moves so much easier. I love that he has broad experience in the various sanctions of dancing such as; USA DanceSport - ballroom, UCWDC - Country, and WSDC - West Coast Swing, all of which I compete in. I highly recommend his group classes and individual private lessons.I am the Vice President of USA Dance Phoenix which is part of the national organization of which Ross has also been a member and certified judge for over 25 years. Put on your dance shoes and come join The Phoenix Ballroom Academy!

Working with Ross has been a great experience; both for me as a parent and for my son as a student. We started working with Ross last summer and in that time my son has improved immensely in both his ability and confidence. Ross does such a great job at hitting that perfect blend of fun, discipline, encouragement, and high expectations. His love of dance is evident in his teaching and dedication. 100% recommend!

My daughter participates in the youth Ballroom Academy and has taken additional lessons with Ross for about 1 year. We love the benefits and camaraderie this experience has provided her. Her skill has improved tremendously, her confidence has skyrocketed, and she loves being able to compete as a ballroom dancer. The instruction is top-notch and Ross works so well with all of the students. You won't find better instruction, in my opinion. Not only has my daughter been able to develop as a dancer, but she has made a great group of friends at Academy!

My daughter has been taking ballroom dance lessons for the past few months . From the very first class, she was welcomed into a warm and encouraging environment that made her feel comfortable and excited to learn.The instructors are incredibly skilled and patient, taking the time to ensure every student understands the steps and techniques. They focus not only on the technical aspects of dancing but also on building confidence and self-expression. My daughter has gained not only dance skills but also a sense of discipline and teamwork.Each class is filled with fun and energy, and I’ve seen her grow immensely in her ability and passion for dance .It’s been a joy to watch her develop friendships with her classmates, all while sharing the love of dance.I highly recommend this ballroom dance program to any parent looking to inspire their child. It has been an enriching experience that has not only taught my daughter how to dance but has also instilled in her a sense of pride and accomplishment.---

The best ballroom youth program in the valley! These guys specialize in 12 to 17 years old, but they can really do anything with ballroom! We have tried several different instructors and have to say that the most value for our money is definitely from the Phoenix ballroom Academy! Even within the first lesson, we could immediately tell the difference and see the attention to detail.

Mr. Ross is a phenomenal teacher. He helps with whatever you need dance wise. He is super nice, I’ve had his as a teacher for several months now, and I’ve never had a bad experience with him.

Shawn is an amazing instructor. In under 6 months he prepared us to compete and win our first dance contest.
