Danielle Blouin

When I visit from Pittsburgh, one of Danielle's dances are always on the itinerary. The experience is informative (lessons), awesome, uplifting, and such a joy. The folks I encounter on and off the floor are so inviting to this visitor and incredible steppers! You all are blessed to have world class instructors like Danielle and should be proud of the dance community you've created!

Dancing with Danielle is always an incredible and fun experience. She always welcomes and accommodates all levels of dancers with enthusiasm. She shares her love of dance with each of her students and always adds a touch of humor to each class! Smiles are seen on each face! Danielle’s dedication to the dance community is obvious to all. Come dance with us!

I received personal attention from Danielle which boosted my confidence as well as adding to my love of dance. A seasoned dancer or a newbie will benefit immensely from the experience Danielle shares. The social dances she organizes are outstanding! Not only social, but the bonus of a lesson before every dance. She is competent, eloquent, professional, but always protective and compassionate with her students.

Danielle is an amazing instructor. I’ve taken private lessons from some of the top instructors in the country and she’s one of the very best. Her Saturday night dances/parties are amazing. Her music and energy are part of what makes the parties so much fun. She does an amazing job in her group lessons of helping each individual student get to “their” next level and at the same time making it a fun and entertaining class. Nobody does it better.

Danielle is a fantastic dance teacher. Have had private lessons with her periodically since 2018 and advanced my WCS and 2-step skill level over the years since then. She got me ready for my first pro-am competition in 2023 which really helped my social dance skills. She also runs the best Saturday night dance lesson and practice party event in the region every month. This is great to help people of all ages with mental health, self-confidence, and partnership skills (lead and follow).

I trained with Danielle from 2007 to 09 to compete in the UCWDC events around the country. I placed first in my divisions in many events such as Orange Blossom, Peach State, Christmas in Dixie and in the 2009 UCWDC worlds, my couples partner and I won our World Champion belt buckles under the tutelage of Danielle. I've danced many different styles under many different teachers but I have never met one who is so passionate about her vocation and unwavering in her support of her students.

Learner first dance lessons from Florida's finest! Danielle is not only a world-class dancer, but an even better teacher! Teaching skill of this calibre is rare and I am so fortunate to be taking lessons from her. She hosts incredible themed parties and group classes that are great for beginners. Dance is clearly a labor of love for her and she has nurtured a very friendly community in the area over the the last few decades. You do not want to miss this place

Danielle Blouin is an amazing dance instructor with an extensive background in Country, West Coast Swing and Ballroom! Her private lessons, group lessons and social dances are for all levels of dancers, and you do not need a partner to participate. The joy of dancing, the great instruction, the feeling of belonging, the music . . . and we have one of the best instructors . . . this is what so many love and come back to!

I've known Danielle for over 10 years. She is a world champion dancer in Country, a great West Coast Swing dancer and an excellent instructor. Her friendly, enthusiastic teaching style makes learning fun. Her dance knowledge is endless. She has devoted her heart and soul to the Tampa dance community and hosts a variety of dances. You can't go wrong taking lessons from Danielle. You'll continually learn and have fun at the same time.

Highly recommend for Country 2-Step, West Coast Swing or any other partner dance! Danielle Blouin is a fantastic instructor, passionate about making you a better dancer. Her Wednesday & Saturday group classes/dances are a blast, but if you want to improve quickly, book a private. She connects well with many personalities and works hard to get you onto the dance floor, having fun and meeting new people. Just do it!

My Husband & I have been taking private lessons from Danielle for about 2 years now. We appreciate her World Class high level skills, applied to our beginner level. She explains so we understand. We’ve come so far! We enjoy her expertise, her professionalism and her fun to be with personality. Our time with her has been a great investment in our learning to 💃 WCS & 2Step, & as a married couple for almost 40 years, we have never had so much fun! 🎉

Dancing with Danielle is an absolute dream. As a teacher, a social dancer, a partner in competition…and as a friend she is beyond what anyone could hope for. I couldn’t ask for a better role model in the dance community and I can’t wait to get to compete with her again this year! I would have never made it as far as I have if she hadn’t opened the doors with me and had my back the entire time. I will always have the utmost appreciation and respect for her.

Orange Blossom was truly a magical experience in so many ways. Danielle gave so much of her time, body and self to help us all grow to our best potential in the short time we had! The event was a blast! I am not sure how Danielle did all those routines switching from Lead to Follow and Novice to Intermediate but she did! Danielle really helped all of us dance out best dance and you could really tell it was all about us for her. I am truly grateful for the experience and memories!

You may not know how lucky we are to have a Champion instructor like Danielle here in Clearwater! If you are new to Country, you may not be aware of the talent that Danielle brings to our community. She is the best instructor to teach you how to lead and follow any dance. With her gentle guidance, and expertise as a coach, mentor, instructor, and friend, she helped us achieve many awards and placements during our dance journey!

Orange Blossom event motivates my purpose of dance lessons. To express my love of country music in front of spectators and judges, makes one a true dance warrior, showing the dance community that Team FloorPlay (led by Danielle) is something to be proud of! She is one amazing teacher with tons of patience and our lessons are the highlight of my week!

Due to Danielle's dedication, drive, discipline and keen interest in her student's successes, I have two 1st place and two 2nd place Overall World Championship Titles in Intermediate (2 of which were in age divisions against those 10 years younger than me;) She is one of a kind and I will be forever thankful for my dance journey with her!

I can tell you that competing with Danielle was one of the best adventures of my life. Her coaching and encouragement is top notch! It was a thrill to compete with her at 3 competitions and placed 2nd Overall in my division at World's in 2009!
