Mr. Gutierrez is a renowned producer and a world class, award winning, ballroom dance teacher. In addition to operating IDS, he owns and produces an international open ballroom dance championship, Mexico Open, which is held annually in Cancun, Mexico.

In IDS, we specialize in individual training of both professional and amateur dancers. We accept single students, couples, as well as students who desire special event oriented training, such as wedding and prom preparations. Every one of our programs is individually designed to meet each of our student's personal needs. Our students do not need any prior experience or knowledge, we accept students of any level and we provide training up to Gold Level, and anything in between, as well as physical therapy training. We know that every student has a specific goal in mind when it comes to their training and we believe that our personal training system accompanied with our private instructors are the best tools to truly tend to those needs and desires.
