Our Story. Our Passion.

Since 2010, dedicated to excellence in Ballroom and Latin dance.

Our Foundation

The Sherwin Toralde Method

Founded by champion dancer and master coach Sherwin Toralde, our studio was built on the belief that world-class instruction should be accessible, supportive, and fun. We don't just teach steps; we instill confidence, musicality, and a lifelong appreciation for the art of partner dance.

Three Pillars of Success

  • Personalized Coaching: Every journey starts with individualized attention. Private lessons are customized to your learning style and goals.
  • Community Practice: Group classes and practice parties are vital for applying what you learn and developing confidence dancing with different partners.
  • Goal-Oriented Curriculum: Whether your goal is social ease, a memorable wedding dance, or competitive success, we provide a clear, structured path (Bronze, Silver, Gold levels).
