Dance Fire 5 Year Anniversary Ball!

THANK YOU for celebrating with us Dance Fire’s 5 Year Anniversary “Night Under The Stars”!

It was a night full of love, gratitude, entertainment, dancing and a special announcement! 

Each guest was greeted with a Dance Fire Anniversary gift!

The cocktail hour was a magnificent social moment to have some exquisite hot and cold appetizers, enjoy each other's company while tasting the Dance Fire signature cocktail “The Orange Spiral” and mocktail “The Quickstep”. We were thrilled with the talented performance of the brilliant pianist, Michael Lowry. What a treat!

The Ballroom opened up and each guest walked through the entrance full of shooting stars and were asked to take a red carpet picture by our amazing photographer Tom Hourigan. He is a true artist and we appreciate all his hard work. All pictures are available on our website: https://www.dancefirestudio.com/gallery

Dinner was served with a three course meal and excellent choices of Fillet Mignon, Cedar Planked Salmon, Tuscan Chicken or Vegetarian Eggplant Roulade. 

The Professional Shows were a big highlight of the evening. They were emotional, touching and exciting. We were honored with 6 amazing performances by our very own Dance Masters Andrei Bires & Caley Lacey, Florin Vlad & Natalia O’Connor and our guest professional couple as seen on “So You Think You Can Dance” Miroslav Randjelovic & Dakota Pizzi. There was a standing ovation in the ballroom. Thank you to our professionals for preparing these incredible shows and thank you to our Dance Master Kevin for presenting our couples.


We then invited all our Dance Fire Team members on the dance floor: Lisa Jackson, Dance Master Kevin McNamara, Dance Master Andrei Bires, Dance Master Caley Lacey, Dance Master Lilian Odom as well as a few new team members and very loved by the community: Studio Manager Marianna Achlaoug, Dance Master Jon Licht, Dance Master Erick Singleman and Dance Master Tom Russell.

Between their clean and new facility, prompt and impeccable customer service, and absolute professionalism we can’t say enough!
