Who we are

Anna looks forward to joining you on the dance floor to create new, life long memories.

From the time she first stepped into a dance studio at the age of six in Poland, the world of dance has held a very special place in the heart of Anna Strojek. Now, after years of study and performance, she is respected for inspiring her students with this joy, whether to enjoy special nights out, memorable wedding dances, or competitive events.

Anna’s path began in Krakow, Poland, where she grew up practicing and studying Ballroom Dance and the traditional dances of her native land. She moved to the United States in 2005 to study for a traditional, non-dance career. As she worked to earn her degree, the dream of dance lived on. After earning her degree, she realized that her true passion and talents have always been in dance. She headed straight back into the world of dance and hasn’t looked back!

Anna has won numerous competitions, in both the Pro/Am and Showcase divisions, thriving on the thrill of competition and the discipline of practice. She has competed in the Professional American Rhythm Division (NDCA), and has placed as a finalist in numerous US competitions. Anna’s dance knowledge is unusually diverse. She is proficient in, and certified by the National Dance Council of America to teach, ALL American and International Style Ballroom dances (Waltz, Cha-Cha, Foxtrot, Tango, Rumba, & many more) as well as popular social dances including Salsa, Hustle, Bachata, West Coast Swing, Merengue, and others. Anna specializes in choreographing and teaching stunning customized wedding and special event dances. And she has had extensive experience in training and preparing children ages 6-14 for local and regional competitions and showcases. Along with teaching adults at LSDA, she currently teaches Ballroom Dance as an extracurricular at local high schools.

Anna’s broad-based expertise has led to her being sought out as a teacher. Although  she does not currently  compete professionally, she teaches North Shore dancers of every age and level. Reviews of her group and private lessons repeatedly point out her gift for being equally effective with beginners as well as advanced dancers, and that she has an amazing ability to adjust her patient and lighthearted style to match the unique needs and aspirations of every single student that she teaches.

Like so many who love to dance, Anna considers dancing to be the true expression of her soul. She appreciates the opportunity to share her passion about ballroom dance and is inspired by the commitment, and sometimes hard work, that her students put into creating memorable dance experiences.
