Our Story
Warren has been a professional instructor, dancer, performer and choreographer for over 25years.
He is originally from Edmonton, Alberta where he started his career in 1993 teaching "American Style" Ballroom and Latin at Cheek to Cheek Dance Studios and Club. While there he had the pleasure of competing in numerous Professional and Pro-Am competitions across Canada and the U.S. After 6 fantastic years there and eventually becoming the "Dance Director" Warren decided to concentrate on developing his own teaching and dancing to the highest level.
As a result, in 1999 he moved to London, England - the top country in the world for International style dance. There he was able to receive coaching from the best teachers in the world at the famous Semley Dance Studios in South London. After a few years in the competitive scene he realized that his true love is in teaching. So he decided to get his qualifications in "International style" dance from the people who practically wrote the book!! Warren received his certification first as an Associate, then as a Licentiate member of the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA).
Then in 2004, while teaching at Semley studios, he was invited to be a guest instructor in various schools across China! He spent 6 weeks touring Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shen Zhen helping to develop their teachers and students dancing level. βIt was a wonderful experience that I will never forget.β
Finally in the summer of 2004 Warren returned home to Canada, but this time to Peachland, British Columbia, where his family had moved to, and began teaching his own classes at the Robb Card Dance Studios in Kelowna. After 2 years he was able to open his own dance school LATINESQUE BALLROOM AND LATIN DANCE!
Four amazing fun-filled years later Warren and his soon-to-be wife Jeni moved to Ottawa, Ontario to take advantage of a career opportunity for Jeni. Three wonderful(but cold) years later we find ourselves back in the Okanagan and are looking forward to new adventures!
