Do I need a partner to take competitive lessons at Colorado DanceSport?
No, you do not need a partner to train or compete! Many of our competitive students participate in Pro-Am competitions, where you pair up with your professional Colorado DanceSport instructor to compete against other student-professional duos. If you are looking for an amateur partner, our deep roots in the Denver dance community can also help connect you with matching independent dancers.
