Dance Class for Everyone

Pamela and Jeff Johnson are choreographed ballroom dancers and instructors of Rapid Ballroom, which they founded in 2014. Each hailing from an artistic stock, they bring not only abackground in dance and teaching but an undeniable love and insight to their classes which allows students to progress comfortably and rapidly.

At a young age Pamela began taking lessons in ballet and tap. Later on she added modern, jazz and clogging to her studies. For many years she taught dance at the Myles Reif Performing Arts Center in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Jeff’s parents were beautiful dancers who cultivated a love for dance in their children. Many nights, back on the farm in northern Minnesota, you could find the Johnson’s rolling back the living room rug and dancing to the Lawrence Welk show. Jeff and Pamela have taken private ballroom lessons with Paul Botes of American Classic
Ballroom and Rea Lyons of Superior Ballroom. Their most recent choreography includes, “They Say”, “Don't Ever”, “Mariposa IV”, “You've Got a Friend”, “Rock Boppin Baby”, “That's What You Are”, “Nothing At All”, “Jumpin' The Jetty” and “Better Place”. They are members of Roundalab, ICBDA (past Board of Directors), Round Dance Council of Florida and Minnesota Round Dance Council.

After retiring from teaching school in northern Minnesota, Pamela and Jeff began spending the winters in central Florida. They now teach, beginners through phase 6, at the Stardust Dance Center in Plant City, under the direction of Curt and Tammy Worlock. They continue to teach their classes in Minnesota during the spring and fall months. Pamela and Jeff would like to send out a personal invitation to each of you to join them on the dance floor.
