About Us

Emotions DanceSport was created by Simeon Stoynov & Kora Stoynova. They are the 9-Time Reigning Pacific Northwest Regional Champions, were Youth National Champions in 2002, and are two of the most sought after teachers in the Northwest.

Simeon is originally from Bulgaria, and Kora is from the Seattle area. They have been dance partners since 1999 and proudly represent the United States at some of the most prestigious dance competitions in the world, such as Blackpool Dance Festival, UK DanceSport Championships, and the International DanceSport Championships. They get their training from the best teachers in the world, and so their information is up-to-date and of the highest standard in the region.

They have been competing together for 8 years and have a combined teaching experience of 25 years. They have taught the Nation's top youth, given wedding couples the skills to perform works of art, and have waltzed couples into the world of dancing.

Ballroom, Latin, and social dance lessons are taught at the Impulse Ballroom for clients living in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Renton areas. They also teach in Los Angeles at the Club One Studio and San Jose and San Francisco at the Starlite Dance Club.

Online Dance Instruction

We have debuted our new Online Dance Instruction. It is only the beginning but check it out. Our goal is to have as much information on steps, technique, styles, as possible for everyone to learn from the comfort of their home.

Class Choreography

We have been updating all of the dance choreography's. Take a look at them so you can get more acquainted with what we are doing in class. Some of the dances such as Paso Doble and Jive have detailed descriptions about each step so you can practice at home. It is also great if you have some questions. They are the exact routines (well, minus a few on the spot embellishments every once in a while).

ISTD International Technique Seminars

This is a class series that we do on select Sundays, usually every Sunday we are in town. Classes are from 6pm-7pm and focus on one dance. The classes are an in depth study into the technique of all 10 of the International Style Dances. We go over foot positions, alignment, amount of turn, rise and fall, sway, CBM/CBMP, timing, footwork, and precedes and follows. This is the type of information that a teaching exam would focus on. The classes are not for teachers and are instead for dancers who are looking for in depth understanding of technique in each of the syllabus steps.

The next series will begin on Sunday November 1st and will focus on Newcomer Foxtrot. For a complete schedule for the upcoming Seminars please click here.

Private lessons are the quickest way to learn to Ballroom Dance. They are more expensive than group classes, but offer a more flexibility in terms of schedule, focus and dance style.

Private lessons are the same price for up to 4 people. for more information on private dance lessons and instruction please click here.

Group Classes:

Group Classes are inexpensive (more so for individuals) and are a good way to try out a variety of dances and meet new friends. We have a variety of classes for all levels and no partners are necessary. However, if you find that you are unable to keep up with the group, miss some lessons, or are having difficulty with a particular figure, it may be advisable to purchase a few private lessons and use them to catch up with your classmates.
