The credentials
Fellowships in three styles, two exam boards, and one very long memory for bad footwork.
Michael Choi is a professional ballroom dancer, teacher trainer, and examiner in New York City. He holds Fellowships — the top teaching credential — in International Ballroom, International Latin, and American Smooth, examines for Dance Vision and AIDA, and is a Fellow of the ISTD in London. A two-time Ohio Star Ball Smooth semi-finalist, he now spends his energy raising the standard of the profession: training teachers, building exam content, and holding the line on technique — without ever making it feel like a lecture.
