Mark and Rhonda spend most of their time in Knoxville working with a student body of both “Social” and “Competitive” dancers. Most of whom have never danced before in their lives but have fun working towards their dancing goals. Once just avid Amateur competitors with regular jobs, they felt it was time to turn their pastime into a fulltime career. They have always shared a passion to dance with each other, but it was important for them to offer the experience to others.

They believe that their amateur experience has given them a better understanding of what people want from their dance experience. Not everyone wants to compete and be a champion, but Mark and Rhonda do more than just teach dance steps, but enable others to feel comfortable on the dance floor. Their experience in performing and competing has been enhanced by getting coachings from past world champions as well as many renowned U.S. champions.
