Jozsef Parragh

The year was 1983 when an energetic, Hungarian native entered the world of Acrobatic Rock and Roll.  That man was and is Jozsef Parragh.  One year later, he joined the world of International Ballroom Dancing.  He since became:

               Acrobatic Rock and Roll Champion of Hungary;

               World Championships Semi-Finalist;

               13-time National 10 Dance Champion of Hungary;

               Hungary's Dance Representative to Italy; and

               Top Teacher in many competitions.

In 2000, Jozsef decided to move to Cincinnati, Ohio in the USA.  He then began doing Pro/Am competitions, with his students winning top placements across the country.  He is also known for putting together top formations in the dance community.  He is highly trained in and teaches the following styles and dances:

               International Standard & Latin, American Smooth & Rhythm, Salsa,

               Merengue, Swing, Latin dancing, Hungarian Acrobatic Rock and Roll, and

               Choreography.

His teaching style is dynamic, fun, effective, and charming.  His lessons are exciting, unique, vigorating, informative, and a work out.  Come take a lesson, and your life will be the better for it.

Aside all the credentials he has gained in dance, he has a sincere passion for teaching.  But, WAIT!!!  Teaching dance for him is not just about technique, patterns, styling, and outer connection; but it is for him teaching his students and teachers alike the real meaning behind the art of dance; philosophy of dance; inner [true] connection; the true feeling, rhythms, and human values associated with dance; movement and body positioning; and how to have an enjoyable dance with your partner.

Professionals, Advanced students, and Beginners have gained and will all gain from what he teaches.  So, come and have fun, and look great while doing so.  Discover the keys to real dance connection, and learn what it means to master "your dance."
