Owner/Instructor:
Fritzi Fredrick
Owner - Interior Designer - Dance Instructor - Event Coordinator
Fritzi has been dancing socially for the past 9 years and has spent innumerable hours practicing and training. She has been dancing since childhood with tap, jazz, ballet and modern. That foundation was a huge help in learning Ballroom dance.
She works for Mariott and other local hotel chains as an entertainer and also performs weekly for Well Med.
Her first instructor was Patrick
McMillian so East Coast Swing became her best dance. Then--after
some intense one-on-one Latin training from Jack Lloyd--she began her teaching
career with a focus on improving her West Coast Swing with Anita Castillas
as her instructor. She is always available for shows, team building events and
teaching.
"I think a great instructor is one that is always improving and learning themselves, if you continue to study and practice then your students benefit more."
Fritzi is available for private
lessons in American Style Ballroom , Latin , Swing and Country.
She is currently looking for a professional partner to train with and perform.
Fritzi loves to Cha Cha, East
and West Coast Swing, Hustle, Samba and Tango.

Sawyer
I love to Dance!! I have been teaching dance
since 1991 and have been competing professionally since 1998. My specialty is
Country Western and Swing dancing but I also enjoy teaching other styles of
couple dances. I am the only female instructor in San Antonio to compete at
National Association of Swing Dance Events (NASDE). I am still currently
competing in West Coast Swing Events. I have been privilaged to choreograph
several Broadway style musicals. I have had the opportunity to coach and
choreography for NESA ( Northeast School of Performing Arts) in 2005. I have
also worked on a Jubilee that had over 4,000 dancers in it, it was performed at
the Alamo Dome. My students have many accomplishments also. Just for example in
October of 2004 two of my students placed 1st in their respective pro/am
divisions at Waltz Across Texas an ACDA event. At Nationals those same two
students placed in the top 3 in their divisions. In 2004 I placed 1st overall in
Division 1 at the Texas Hoe Down and ACDA event. I have won many advanced
Two-step and advanced West Coast Swing Jack and Jills. If you are interested in
taking lessons please call 210-857-0995.
