About Studio 6 Ballroom
Studio 6 Ballroom
was created not as an "owner's business" but as the community's place. The main
owner, in fact, is a student himself. Craving a place that was comfortable to
kick back & enjoy the company of all the new interesting & fun friends he made,
he decided something had to be done. As fate would have it, a fabulous space had
just opened up on Tacoma's popular 6th Ave known as the "Arts & Entertainment"
district. What a dream come true for students & coaches alike!...a fabulous
array of restaurants, clubs, live music venues and so much more working as a
team to offer more to the community! On top of that, a fabulous landlord &
business association very excited to have us!
Side note: If you have visited 6th Ave in the past...better check again...things
are always happening, changing & growing!
The instructors
at S6 are independent but work as a team to create a fun interactive
environment. This gives those who love teaching the freedom to enjoy what they
do best...a better result for the students! A common goal is to recreate &
advance the dance image in the area...to show the area what partner dance &
Dancesport look like on a National, even International, level. To aide in this &
offer continuing education to the community of instructors, we were lucky to
enlist the aide of Master Coach, National Title Holder, Natasha Thayer to
oversee the studio, answer questions and provide coaching to both students &
instructors. Natasha has spent many years traveling Nationally &
Internationally very successfully competing, performing and as a consultant
to other studios. It's no surprise that she would know everyone on "Dancing with
the Stars" & have competed against, and or performed with, those who were
professionals before they joined the show.
At S6 you will find open & honest information, more than fair pricing, reliable
service and quality instruction to suit everyone...yes, everyone & all ages! You
will find an atmosphere of cooperation and support among both instructors and
students creating a welcoming family feeling...the "Cheers" feeling! It is very
important at S6 that everyone is working towards a common goal...a place of
support, quality easy instruction, and a fun environment to really enjoy
yourself! S6 will reconsider instructors and students alike who do not
demonstrate this. We reserve the right to refuse business...especially if it is
interfering with everyone's enjoyment or demonstrating a less than professional
atmosphere.
S6 is excited to offer art showings to keep things fun & interesting. We are
especially excited to offer space to students first & foremost. Additionally, a
folder is provided in our lounge, as well as web space, for your business
cards/info. Our instructors have all done very well with "word of mouth" &
networking...they believe in offering this back to their students! We offer
complimentary beverages as well as a tv with vcr/dvr and
performance/competition videos available. We are very excited to have you and
strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible in your new venture. Everyone
has been there at one time or another...as well as the instructors!
