Introduction

Hi there, My name is Petra and I have been a professional Ballroom Dancer/Instructor for the past 10 years. Through my love of dancing, I have been able to help hundreds of couples achieve their wedding dance dreams in addition to training with my competitive students for competitions and assisting people from all walks of life with their vision of being able to dance comfortably and confidently in all social settings. I can come to you or we can rent a studio space in Sarasota. Whether you're preparing for your big day, want to be able to dance at a friends wedding or are looking to burn up the dance floor in any situation, I'm your girl;) Lessons are $85 for a 45min session with discounts available for packages of 4 or more. Thank you and happy dancing! Petra

Petra is nothing short of the quintessential professional, as well as an educator, and artist. She is genuinely a warm and lovely person. Petra quickly got to the root of what would help me, and it HAS, tremendously, even from the first lesson! I am thrilled with her expertise and look forward to many more lessons. Punctuality and precision mixed with lightness and love of dance, Petra far exceeded my expectations.

Details: 46-65 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Swing • Beginner • More than once a week • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

My partner and I took seven private lessons with Petra while on vacation in the Sarasota area. She is an excellent, reliable, punctual, and delightful teacher. Both of us felt that way. We would recommend her highly, without hesitation. If we return to the area we will take more lessons with her. Neither of us knew how to dance and in a short period we were doing fox trot, rumba, and salsa. She is patient and kind, with a sense of humor.

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • Swing Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No song preference • Beginner • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Petra was amazing! She helped us newbies that didn’t know anything and helped us find our rhythm. her choreography for our first dance felt comfortable and right at our level to make our wedding day super special. Highly recommend her! Super attentive and detail oriented. 10/10!
