International DanceSport Studios are award winning franchised ballroom dance studios founded and directed by Carlos Manuel Gutierrez Jr. since 1995. 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. Mr. Gutierrez is also the founder and president of LAWDSC, Latin America World DanceSport Council, a world dance council that promotes ballroom dancing as a sport on an athletic level as well as a form of art, and an exercising outlet. 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.
If you are a teacher we can transfer your teaching experience and qualifications into a rewarding and profitable business. We help you make the transition from teacher to entrepreneur seamless. You are not required to tutor students although you can if you wish. You can tap into your network of teaching colleagues and give them the opportunity to supplement their income.This opportunity allows for a comfortable lifestyle of flexibility, a good income and the ability to grow.
We have a proven system and we are proud to share it with you!!!
