Paso de Danza - Holiday Spectacular+ Readers Choice
A New Dance Studio/Ballroom - Paso de Danza
 
Are you ready to add excitement to your life. Be surrounded by artistic, cheerful people, who will make learning dance a fun and rewarding experience. Isn't that what it's all about. Get ready for the newest dance studio/ballroom to open in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. Paso de Danza, just minutes from the Pennsylvania state line. Seasoned dance professional Ellis Roderick, brings a new approach to teaching dance to New Jersey. Ellis studied dance in New York and Montreal and has won numerous competitions. He previously owned the Xanadu Dance Studio that was located in upstate New York. With over 20 years experience teaching dance, he brings his vast skills and knowledge in ballroom to you: Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Fox-trot, Swing, Two Step, Hustle, Rhumba, Tango, Cha Cha, Salsa, Merengue, Samba plus other dances. Are you ready to dance outside your comfort zone? Are you ready to learn some new dances or strengthen the ones you know? Get ready for the Grand Opening Open House at Paso de Danza. It all takes place on November 2nd, Sunday from 4 to 10PM. The new studio is located at 103 Foch Boulevard, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865 
Ellis is a strong supporter of the importance and value of good health and the great cardiovascular workout you achieve from ballroom dancing. Research shows that ballroom dancing is found to be a preventative exercise for osteoporosis. "It offers a combination of athleticism and arts in one unique package, for all ages" shares Ellis. With a strong extensive background in tap, jazz, ballet, modern adagio, gymnastics and choreography, Ellis brings a full service dance program to New Jersey. He has choreographed spectacular routines for America's Jr. Miss and Miss America Pageants as well as videos for CMT. Ellis is recognized nationally for his ability to break down dance to its fundamentals with a soft and gentle approach. He is a gentleman on and off the dance floor. In addition, Ellis has created a wonderful program to prepare couples for their wedding day. He strengthens "non dancers" skills giving them the confidence to shine on their special day. He gives couples the training to dance at their wedding with poise and elegance, making their day forever a memorable experience. 
Paso de Danza will also host a twice a month dance social on Saturday evenings. What a great way to practice and interact with other dancers. The socials will include a half hour dance lesson at 7PM then open social dancing till 10PM. Refreshments are served. 
Make sure to attend the exciting Grand Opening, Open House on Sunday, November 2nd from 4 to 10PM. Stop by for a dance, refreshments, demonstrations and performances. You can even enter a raffle to win a free dance lesson. The studio is located across from the Wal Mart and behind Slack Electric,
