Our Amazing Team

Ben and Victoria Roose

Mr. Roose has inherited the family dancing genes and now spends his volunteer hours trying to teach teens that "smooth" is a dance style, not just how you avoid your parents' questions.

Mrs. Roose has been gracefully gliding across the dance floor since she could walk, and now uses her superpowers to teach teenagers that spinning in circles is actually a legitimate ballroom skill — and not just what happens when they forget which way is left.

Michael and Bethany Kopriva

Mr. Kopriva somehow survived middle school polka trauma and now bravely teaches the advanced class, where he convinces seasoned teens that complicated turns are just 'fancy walking' with extra attitude.

Mrs. Kopriva has the magical ability to make ballroom dancing look graceful while secretly wondering why her husband still counts out loud like he's directing traffic.

Sarah Croft, Director

Mrs. Croft manages the unruly staff from behind the curtain and enable a room full of energetic teenagers to turn energy into ballroom dancing.

Louis Fronkier

Mr. Fronkier has mastered the art of capturing pictures of junior high and high school students by turning awkward poses, sudden giggles, and "I don't know how to smile" moments into "artistic expressions of teenage brilliance."

Caleb and Shelby Buel

Mr. Buel has discovered that teaching ballroom to teenagers is 10% dance steps and 90% convincing them that tripping over their own feet is just "advanced footwork practice."

Mrs. Buel has the patience of a saint and the footwork of a ninja, somehow turning teenage shuffles into actual ballroom steps while pretending not to notice when they accidentally dip their partner into the snack table.

Dan Roose

Mr. Roose, having mastered the two left feet phenomenon, now uses that insane wisdom to teach junior high and high school kids how to unwind their two left feet and somehow convert one of them into a right foot.

Laura Claire

Ms Laura Claire glides across the floor like she was born in a ballroom gown, making the waltz look so effortless that teenagers suddenly believe they too can float like clouds — at least until they try it themselves.

Ben Fronkier

Mr. Fronkier keeps the teenage chaos in check with a single stern look and a firm "no double dipping the snacks" rule, proving that even the most advanced dancers occasionally need adult supervision.
