Carlos Maldonado has
had an extraordinary
career as a dance
instructor for more
than thirty years.
His career began in
his early twenties,
when he applied for
instructor training at
an Arthur Murray
studio. Beginning the
class with 27 other
students, the
demanding routines
and rigorous
standards culled out
all students but one:
Carlos Maldonado. It
was then that he was
certified as a Bronze
Level Instructor.
About us
Carlos Maldonado
Carlos continued his instructor training to become certified
as a Silver Level Instructor, equivalent to a B.A. degree in
Dance. He reached the extraordinary level of Gold Level
Instructor in his mid-twenties, which is equivalent to a
Masters Degree in Ballroom Dance. As the same time, he
trained to compete in ballroom dance, but found he had an
aptitude and talent for teaching. Further training merited
him certification as an adjudicator (competition judge).
In the thirty years since
beginning his instructor
training, Carlos has
taught thousands of
students the fine points of
ballroom and Latin
dancing. His private and
group lesson students,
alike, proclaim him to be
the areas best dance
teacher for ballroom and
Latin dancing, from the
Fox Trot to waltz, from
salsa to tango. He has
taught men and women of
all ages: engineers,
accountants, teachers, secretaries, business owners,
CEOs, attorneys, nurses, and many others.
In 2000, he left the employment of an independent studio
and founded his own ballroom dance business, working
and using all of his accumulated dance business
experience. Through a combination of private lessons,
wedding dance lessons, group lessons, and dance parties
he established a successful business, with the assistance
of six talented assistant instructors.
Carlos' plans for Carousel Ballroom include opening a new
studio in West Chester, PA, and offering the finest
instruction in ballroom and Latin dancing anywhere in the
Delaware Valley.
