Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Ballroom Boot Camp and other shows about partnership dancing have been quite popular this year.  An average of 28.3 MILLION people watched each episode of Dancing with the Stars, a VERY impressive statistic that highlights the current interest in Ballroom and Latin dancing.  

In fact, there is so much interest in this type of partnership dancing that dance studios and dance teachers are finding it difficult to fit everyone in for lessons.  That, in turn, has created a huge demand for qualified and highly trained dance instructors at all levels.
