Dowding David
What has always been a passion for David has now become an exciting and rewarding career. David possesses an inherent musicality – gifted at an early age with a knack for playing instruments, as well as a talent for movement.
Being one of the few boys involved in theater, he was always in demand for any dance number that came around. He became a dancing machine and continued to evolve his craft, performing often throughout his high school years.
When reaching college, David found the ballroom dance club and was quick to join. On the very first day of the second semester at the University of Connecticut, the dance coach personally recruited David to join the competitive team.
For the next six years, David traveled with the UCONN dance team throughout the Northeast, competing in the USABDA circuit in all four styles. During two of his final years at UConn, the team was left without a coach and David successfully stepped up to take on the responsibility of training the team.
After moving to New York, David soon found himself teaching full-time. During his teaching tenure with multiple well-known dance franchises, David competed professionally in the American Smooth category. Striving for more opportunity, David joined the Dance With Me family in 2013.

She went on to further her career at Montclair State University, earning her BFA in Dance Performance and graduating Summa Cum Laude with distinction of Outstanding Performer. Post graduation, Elena completely turned her focus to the ballroom world. At Dance With Me, Elena strives to make every student feel welcomed into the studio & has made it a goal to help all students, beginner or professionals, achieve their dancing goals.
No Partner? No Problem! What to Expect in Your First Class
A primary barrier to entry for many adults is the assumption that a partner is required for ballroom or social dance instruction. However, the pedagogical model employed in our adult dance classes in Glen Rock specifically accommodates solo attendees. In group settings, a rotation system is typically used, allowing students to dance with different partners throughout the session. This “lead-follow” dynamic is essential for developing true dancing proficiency, as it teaches students to adapt to different frames and rhythms.
- Arrive at 197 Rock Rd.
- Consultation: Our expert instructors, engage in a dialogue to understand the student's goals—whether it's preparing for a wedding, losing weight, or finding a social hobby.
- Your instructor assesses your level and goals.
- Positive Reinforcement: The focus is on the "intrinsic value" of the movement rather than immediate perfection. Instructors use a "patient" and "enthusiastic" teaching style to build the student’s confidence from the very first minute.
