You might be surprised at just how many U.S. and World Champion Dancers reside in the NY Metro Area. The wealth of talent is both amazing in it's breath and at the same time amazing at how unrecognized it can be. The mission of "Dancin.com's Who's Who" is to spotlight many of these individuals, their talents, and achievements and bring some well deserved attention to the professionals that keep NY moving both socially and professionally.
