Ballroom Strength
Athletic Development for Ballroom & Latin Dancers everywhere
Hi! I'm Paul
Athletic Coach to Champions and
Founder of Ballroom Strength
Ballroom & Latin Dancing is a refined art form. It requires so many skills, from leading and following, to knowledge of figures, to body control. To be great at Ballroom & Latin, there is no question about it: you need a lot of practice! The good news is that there is something, which you can do, to make your practice more effective and to transform your dancing. You can build the right kind of athleticism.
I'm on a mission to bring appropriate Athletic Development methods to the Ballroom & Latin community, so that dancers become even better on the dance floor. Discover how Ballroom Strength can help you to achieve your dance goals, from simply more fun on the dance floor, to becoming the next champion.

Here's what our Ballroom Athletes and studios say...
"We can push more and produce much more quality"
We have been training with the Ballroom Strength programme for a few months and it has had a big impact on our dancing.
It helps us to become stronger, increases our general level of energy and keeps us more motivated and focused during our weekly routine of dancing sessions.
And when it comes to stamina dance sessions or competitions we can push more and produce much more quality.
We definitely felt a huge difference from before and during this programme. We highly recommend it for every dancer who wants to improve!
"We are very happy with the gains we have made"
We would like to express that we now feel that we have a training programme that is suitable for the sport we practice.
We knew that we needed something specific and something that would prepare us for technical training and competitions; our body needed this work and awareness.
And with this training program, we are very happy with the gains we have made.
"Great physical preparation"
After becoming 2023 Bulgarian Champions, one of the things that everybody congratulated us on was our physical preparation. We were very active, and we didn't get tired at all! It was a hard competition because we started immediately from the final and we started with the dance for presentation Quickstep. We were the last couple and then we danced again Quickstep. Our coaches said that physically we were at a very nice level, so I'm very happy that we worked together with Ballroom Strength!
Oti & Marius Dance Studio, London
We’ve been running a series of Ballroom Strength workshops at OMDS for our competitors and they’re great! The combination of appropriate strength and stamina training is really helping our dancers.
Step By Me Studios, London
We were really happy to host a Ballroom Strength workshop at Step By Me Studios. Our aim is to provide a complete Ballroom service to our dancers, and that includes appropriate athletic training. The workshop went really well and our dancers liked it a lot. We highly recommend these workshops!

Read MoreI’ve really enjoyed using this programme to add strength training to my routine. It’s great because there are lots of exercises, which I can pick and choose to fit my level, and I really feel the improvements already in my movement. I keep coming back to it to get inspiration for exercises and see how to step up to the next level. The guidance has been really helpful, I don't have to figure out how to improve my strength in areas I've been struggling in my dance - it's all there, put simply and easy to follow. I'm very happy with my progress in my dancing because of this programme. Gaining strength in my weak areas has really helped. Thank you!

Read MoreI’m so happy with my results from Ballroom Strength! When I started using the programme, I wasn’t able to get to dance training because of other commitments. 2 months later I went back to the studio, I danced with my teacher and he said “Wow, what have you been doing! You’re so much better!” I felt lighter and I had so much more control. I highly recommend it!

Why should Ballroom & Latin Dancers do Athletic Training?
-
Strength is the foundation of all movement.
More strength, mobility and control = Better movement = Better dancing -
Elite levels of stamina come from focussed stamina training only
-
The repetition of dance technique alone is inefficient and limited at developing greater strength and stamina
-
Focused strength exercises and stamina routines are best for athletic development
-
Being a better athlete means that your time on the dance floor is more fun and more effective!
