Season 1's Danny Arbour follows his dreams
Danny Arbour doesn't think he can dance, he knows it. And the ballroom style dancer who made it to the top 10 last year on CTV's debut season So You Think You Can Dance Canada is ready to share his knowledge.
Recently, Arbour, 27, and his sister Karine, 29, opened the doors of their new West Island dance school, Danza Studio.
"It's really classy. It's just so beautiful," he says of his second floor studio and boasts of the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and dark wood flooring.
It's a lot of work and Danny admits to teaching seven days a week, but he beams as he talks about his students. "I love working with high level competitors. I love working at that level, when you can push dancers to the limit, but I love beginners. They have so much fun and so enjoy their time in the studio," he says.
Having a studio allows him to not only fulfill his love of teaching, but also of choreographing. "I work with a lot of competitors and am always creating new dances for them," he says.
Danny and Karine, who grew up in Montreal, became ballroom dance partners when he was five and she was seven to help commemorate their grandparent's 40th wedding anniversary.
He, the 2004 and 2005 Canadian Amateur Champion International Style went on to compete in Germany and the Czech Republic.
She competed four years on the social dancing circuit and was named Quebec champion in 1996/97.
And though Karine retired from competitions she remained active with Association Amateur de Danse Sportive du Quebec until 2007, and as a teacher.
