Theresa Bagavandoss

Instructor / Trainee Coordinator

Louis has spent 25 years of his life as a student, performer, and instructor of dance. He trained with the Cleveland and Akron Ballet and studied dance at Kent State and The Ohio State Universities. Louis also trained with well-known choreographers throughout the country and made his living as a professional

dancer. At the age of 54 he became interested in ballroom dancing and quickly decided to make a serious commitment to the sport. He trained 20 to 30 hours a week and at the age of 56 competed as an amateur, making quite an impression on the competitive dance floor. Now on staff with R&J, Louis has taken on the role as Staff Trainee Coordinator within R&J's training

academy. But, most importantly, Louis will tell you that due to R&J's comprehensive training programs, he has grown as a ballroom dancer more in the the last two years than he has in the 13 years he has been involved in the sport.

Jonathan Green

Instructor

"To me, dance is a beautiful art. It is always changing depending on how one views it. Aspects of it change and pieces can always be refined or changed. It is a fascinating puzzle that is constantly expanding. Teaching dance is a way for me to constantly explore what dance is. It is an opportunity for me to take my enthusiasm and share it with others, hoping they can find their own love of dancing. My goals for dancing will always change as I grow as a dancer and teacher, but one always stays: I want to learn as much as I can and always grow."
