Instructor Bio:
Aaron Blizzard’s entire life has revolved around the world of performing arts. With a dance background that spans over 15 years, Aaron's savvy holds no limit to the dance genre, avenue, or creative outlet—including a repertoire of Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Contemporary, and Musical Theater. Today, Aaron is devoted to perfecting the art of Ballroom Dance as a professional DanceSport athlete.
Aaron, alongside his professional partner Jenny Lu, can be frequently spotted performing in Rising Star American Smooth Ballroom competitions. Prior to competing in the Smooth category (waltz, foxtrot, tango, and Viennese waltz), Aaron held the title of Regional Theatre Arts and Cabaret Finalist in 2015 and 2016.
As a ballroom instructor, Aaron is currently certified through Full Silver in the American Style Rhythm, American Style Smooth, Alternate and Club Style Dances, and Exhibition. He also holds in-depth expertise of Partnering Lifts and Tricks coming from an extensive Ballet training. As a complement to his dance background, Aaron's knowledge extends into physical fitness as a former personal trainer, specializing in strength and conditioning, corrective exercise techniques and flexibility.
Aaron is driven to link his diverse knowledge of physical training to create a more comprehensible Ballroom curriculum—installing into his students what it means and takes to be both a dancer and an artist. He challenges his students to realize what limitless potential they hold from the first time they walk into the studio. With a deep passion for straight-forward teaching combined with an inalienable humour, Aaron loves to work with students of all ages, levels, goals, interests, and backgrounds.
