Birmingham Ballroom

Few dance instructors can say they've trained U.S.B.C. dance champions. But that's just icing on the cake for national dance champion Blake Kish, who has won teaching awards in Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Now, he channels more than 25 years of dance experience into his Birmingham studio, where he teaches private lessons in American and international ballroom styles. His students regularly compete at dance competitions across the country, where dance partners can show off their spins or impersonate Tasmanian Devil.
