Ricardo "Ricky" Corella

Ricardo, or “Ricky” as his students call him, started dancing at the age of 8. As a child he preferred football but one day his mother convinced him to take a dance class. After the first lesson, he was hooked.

Ricky’s passion for knowledge, perfection, and competitive nature drove his love for dance and pushed him towards competing in International Standard and Latin. At the age of 14, Ricky started coaching other young competitive couples and quickly became known as a young leader and ambassador for the sport.

He participated in many South American and Pan-American championships winning several titles and representing Ecuador on the official Ecuadorian Dance Sport team. Ricky moved to the United States in 2017 to further pursue his competitive dance career. He loves getting the opportunity to share his love of dance with students of all levels.

DWM GENERAL MANAGER / Resident Coach

Raphael Abel

“There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.” This is a quote that ultimately describes Raphael Abel. ‘Ralph’ as he is affectionately called at the studio, began his love of dancing at the tender age of twelve. Like most kids, he was a little hesitant at first, but with a gentle push he discovered an inner passion that would stay with him for eternity. After finishing his degree in accounting and entering the New York City workforce, he realized that something was missing in his life. His whimsical attitude and personality was immediately a hit with the staff and the students at all of the Dance With Me studios. He smoothly dispenses all his knowledge and skill to everyone that crosses his path; building relationships, listening to others and keeping his hands in the mix at all times. Raphael is very excited about the opportunity to bring ballroom dancing to another level in Southlake!

Regional Manager / Coach

Brandon Wisner

Growing up in rural Mississippi, dancing was not exactly a popular career field. From a young age, Brandon became known for mimicking Michael Jackson, James Brown, Usher, and many others - often to the disruption of his classes. It wasn’t long before his obsession with copying these “dance greats” had gained him an understanding of dance, in general. Brandon began exploring his own creativity and teaching himself hip hop in high school. He didn’t begin any sort of formal dance training until age 19 when he joined Baton Rouge ballroom studio looking for ways to integrate various styles of dance into hip hop. However, Brandon quickly fell in love with the technique associated with the other styles of dance. It didn’t take long before the studio recognized his natural talent and recruited him as a full-time instructor. Brandon has been teaching Ballroom professionally since 2007 and has choreographed and performed countless routines during that time. He was also nationally ranked as a Top Teacher for 6 years running and he even competed on a season of “So You Think You Can Dance.” With Brandon’s “life of the party” attitude, it usually doesn’t take long for his students to tout him as the highlight of their day. He couldn’t be more excited to further his career and share his passion as Manager of Dance with Me’s Southlake studio.
