Dances, Coaching, Competitions and Showcase Events

Events to bring you to a whole new level

Practice makes perfect!

Rhythm & Grace professionals and students grow exponentially by setting goals of accomplishment. Our students who participate in our Dynamic Dancesport™ program consistently report their astonishment about their own improved physical development, growth and self-satisfaction from performing or competing. The preparation to a known goal really puts their learning into overdrive. Their sense of accomplishment after presenting themselves at the best they can leads to an incredible sense of accomplishment.

Our students regularly work with the coaches we bring in. These accomplished professionals are world-standard competitors and teachers in their own rights and have a legacy of excellence from those under their watchful eyes. Rhythm & Grace gets some of the best to ever grace the dance floor.

Ballroom dancing and Dancesport events are held regularly throughout the world, as well as the United States! Cleveland is blessed to have two Dancesport events annually, and Ohio has many more, including one of the biggest events in the United States, if not the world, right here in Columbus, Ohio.

Please be sure to check back often to see what events we have lined up for the year!

Coaching Lessons

Your instructor is your dance partner when you compete in the Professional/Amateur (Pro/Am) divisions of comps, or performing a routine with you - but they can't see you when they're dancing with you and can miss important detail as they prepare you for your event. A coach is an important remedy to that, but also can directly help bring you to a higher level by drawing upon years of teaching and judging to focus you on the exact priorities you need to make your upcoming event presentations effective and successful.

Competitions are games

You'll be entering a competition at your appropriate level of dance and your age group. We will help orient you to what to expect and what other preparation you need (costumes, shoes, make-up, hair, etc.) You'll get on the floor looking the part. Our philosophy is to treat competitions as games, and enjoy the art dancing to the highest level you can at your best - not with any focus to be better than someone else. Strive for your own excellence!

Showcase exhibitions

A showcase exhibition (or "solo") is you and your instructor dancing a choreographed routine to a set piece of music. Many find value in this to either really get into detail of learning a dance you want to be better at, or learning how to develop the elements of showmanship and presence on the floor, to overall improve your dance presentations.
