What Do Our Students Think

”I’ve been working to improve as an athlete and a dancer for most of my life. The journey never ends! But I couldn’t choose better guides and mentors on that journey than José and Joanna. They teach and coach with precision, creativity, and heart.

Ballroom is really hard. It takes a lot of work to be competitive—equal parts technique and artistry. José and Joanna are masters of both. Their methodology focusing on the value of rock-solid technique has helped my dancing improve leaps and bounds. Their passion for the beauty and musicality of Rhythm inspires me to keep striving toward both my personal and competitive goals. And their generosity of spirit is second to none!”

“I have been José’s student for about eight years competing in Pro-Am Scholarship Ladies B, American Rhythm.

José is extremely knowledegable on how the body moves in Latin Dance. His teachings are very precise and he breaks every move down so you understand it. Not only is he a great dancer but also a great teacher which is very rare. Joanna has the same ability and fine tunes me for my competitions.

I always look forward to taking lessons with them. They really care about making me the best dancer I could be. They are professional, skilled, and patient. I can see why this is a winning team!”

— Deborah Altizio

“I didn’t hesitate when a judge told me, ‘If you’re going to dance pro-am again, you need to dance with the best, José Decamps’. I had heard the rumors and rumblings about the infamous “José”. After being a 5 Time Ohio Star Ball Champion with my first teacher Mark Brock, the OSB championship had become a “World Title” and I wanted to win it! I knew my plan included José! He did not disappoint. José and I went on to become 2 Times Ohio Star Ball’s World Pro-Am Ladies A Rhythm champions and the United States Champions as well. What can I say? José is the best. His teachings are based on sound technical fundamentals that are worth EVERY, single penny. I wouldn’t take back any of the time, resources, flights, foot pain or years I spent with him.Thank you José, also known as ‘Teach’.”

“I have been taking lessons and doing pro am with José for over 15 years. All I can say is, that he really takes pride in his work, he is very passionate about it and truly cares about his students. Everything I know and I am able to do is thanks to him and Joanna.

When it’s time for a competition he knows how to get me ready, even if it’s a short period of time. He is my teacher, mentor and also my psychologist. Their dance camps are also a huge benefit and a learning experience for all those who want to learn from the best. I hope I continue to learn and keep getting better from him for many years to come.
