For those interested in competition, Klajdi actively competes in Pro-Am competitions with students, all of whom achieve great results. Competitions are held in beautiful ballrooms over three to four consecutive days, each day showcasing one of the four styles. Competitors are judged by retired ballroom dance professionals certified in the four styles of ballroom dancing.

At your first lesson, you'll discuss your goals, try 2–3 different dance styles to find what you like, and leave with a personalised plan. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in; no experience or partner needed.
