Stephen White has enjoyed a 20 year career as a dancer, choreographer, coach, performer, competitor, and teacher. He started teaching martial arts at the age of 13, fell in love with partner dancing at 18, and has been a full time dancer ever since. As a professional ballroom dancer, Stephen has been an instructor, staff trainer, assistant studio manager, and a competitor in American Rhythm. Along the way he found West Coast Swing, and dove head first into the community. He’s had the pleasure of competing through the ranks to become a Champion level dancer, and has had the opportunity to bring his love for the dance to over 20 different countries, and learn many more styles of dance along the way. He looks forward to bringing his depth of experience, whimsical humor, and wide knowledge base back into the Ballroom world with Briora!
