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.

 

Regional Manager

Russo Elena

Elena Russo grew up in upstate NY, competing in commercial and concert dance style and training in latin-social dance styles. 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.

Why Students Love Us

At DWM, couples dancing is more than steps—it’s confidence, connection, and self-expression. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, increased energy, or a vibrant community, our dance studio in Glen Rock help you reconnect with yourself through movement.

Brian has been the best teacher my fiance and I could have ever asked for. For someone who is new and hates dancing, Brian gave me the skills and confidence to dance way better!

Joining this dance studio has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I didn’t just find a place to learn to dance, I found a family. My dance family.

From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed with kindness, encouragement, and genuine support. Every lesson leaves me smiling, and I can honestly say I’ve never smiled this much in my life.

Dancing with my incredibly talented instructor, Luis, has given me confidence I never imagined I could have. Through every challenge, every new step, and every accomplishment, he has been cheering me on with patience and encouragement.

I have to say I have taken at least one lesson with each instructor here — and they are all amazing.

Whether you’re looking to learn something new, meet wonderful people, or just find a place where you can forget about life stresses for a while, I can’t recommend this studio enough. It has brought so much joy into my life, and I will always be grateful for this amazing time here.

After suffering a spinal cord injury when my daughter was 10 years old one of my biggest disappointments was I would never be able to dance with her at her wedding. Fast forward 18 years and with a little research I found David and Dance With Me Glen Rock. I would highly recommend them for any type of dance lessons. After being there for several weeks I was able to witness first hand a lot lessons going on. The staff is always friendly and professional and the studio is awesome. All the people taking lessons seem to be having a wonderful experience. Thank you David and Dance With Me for making my dream a reality. My dance with Amanda was a big hit !!

You will be able to stand out on any dance floor with confidence and poise, even if you initially walk in not knowing how to dance a step. The introductory offer is phenomenal. Just do it!

Dance with me Glen Rock is an amazing place. When I was looking for a dance studio, I visited a few different studios in the area but none compared to Dance with me Glen Rock. The staff is incredibly professional and talented. I have learned so much about technique in the few months that I have been taking lessons. The studio is gorgeous and the practice parties are so much fun! I have made great friendships here. Fair warning, you will become addicted to dance once you set foot in the door!
