John Willoughby

John Willoughby has spent most of his life on the stage. Growing up in the small town of Mt. Gilead, North Carolina, John quickly began doing theatre work. He studied musical theatre and voice at performance conservatories in New York City. During his studies and performances on the stage John began studying Ballroom and Latin dance. This quickly became his true love. He has worked for nationally recognized franchises throughout the country. He is currently a competitive American Smooth dancer and has won awards as top teacher, and placed as finalist and winner of competitions throughout the country. His students have won top student awards. John hopes to bring a strong love and passion for dancing whether it be competitive or social. He believes that dancing brings about powerful change and demonstrates that anyone can be anything he or she wants to be. If he can dance, anyone can!!
