Here's what our Elite Dancers say...

“We’ve seen incredible progress in the past year”

Yulia Dreier & Volodymyr Kasilov, WDSF Swiss Standard Champions

Working with Paul from Ballroom Strength has been one of the best decisions we've made in our dance journey. While we’ve had the privilege of learning from some of the best dance teachers and coaches in the world, their focus is often purely dance-specific. Paul, however, has taken our physical development to a whole new level. He genuinely cares about his clients, not just during sessions but also in every aspect of their well-being. Thanks to his guidance, we’ve seen incredible progress in the past year—both physically and in our overall performance.

"We can push more and produce much more quality"

Valeriia Dorofei & Dmytro Yevtyeryev, WDSF Ukrainian Standard Champions

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 can now dance at our maximum potential throughout any event"

Alicja Kogut & Axel Kvaran, WDC Polish Amateur Finalists

We have been training with Paul from Ballroom Strength for the past six months. We can say with full confidence that it has been one of the best decisions we have made for our dancing careers. We've both noticed significant improvements in our overall health performance stamina, and recovery management. Our regular training sessions are now much more effective, and we're consistently able to maintain our energy levels throughout demanding practices. Crucially, this translates directly to competition. We can now dance at our maximum potential throughout any event. Performing in a final round at a competition is barely a challenge now! We are incredibly grateful to Paul at Ballroom Strength. We highly recommend him to any dancer from beginner to elite.

"We are very happy with the gains we have made"

Maia Sirbu & Joel Marques, WDC Portuguese Champions

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"

Kosta Vasilev & Roberta Scuderi
WDSF Bulgarian Standard Champions 2023

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!
