Our Mission for Nashville Dance Lessons
David Elkin
David Elkin, the owner of World Champion Productions, has been in the business of teaching dance lessons in Nashville for 28 years. He also holds four World Titles, seven U.S. Titles, and three British Titles in competitive Ballroom dancing.
As David says, “We strive to always treat customers with warmth, care, respect, honesty, and integrity. After an encounter at our club, we want people to walk away with the feeling that they were cared for and respected, and that World Champion Productions is a very special place.”
Both of our facilities include a raised hardwood dance floor and a state-of-the-art music machine containing a variety of ballroom, Latin, and swing music. Our staff includes full-time dance teachers. They are extensively trained before teaching dance lessons for beginners and continuously trained while employed by World Champion Productions. Their backgrounds range from sports and dance-related activities to classical dance and theatre. Our Supervisors and Managers have extended teaching experience. They assist teachers and monitor the progress of students. They also make sure our dance curriculum is up to date with the world standard.
