And not only are we teachers for so long, but we were also professional competitors for many, many Taras Denysenko 0:30 years. And wait, that\u2019s not all. We\u2019re also ballroom dance studio owners. Todd Combs 0:36 Yes, we own studios. We do it all. But we also a couple more things in our credentials in our in our little resume here. We are traveling consultants. We\u2019ve gone through many, many exams, many tests, gone really far with this set of dancing and we get hired to go to studios all over the United States and out of the country to but mostly United States and we work in studios. Yeah, so we get hired, I\u2019m sure if your students from other places you know that they bring in consultants to the studios you go to and that\u2019s what Taras Denysenko 1:08 we do also. And wait, that\u2019s not all. Because if you\u2019re also competitive dancers, whether professionally or program or amateur, we\u2019re also accredited ballroom dance judges. So we can do enforce our opinions on the dance floor and we can place you first or last. Don\u2019t do it. Todd Combs 1:35 Now on this show, we\u2019re not going to focus on trying to teach you to ballroom dance via a podcast, an audio show that\u2019s just it\u2019s it\u2019s insane. That\u2019s too much for anyone to do. We could probably do it because we\u2019re amazing, but it\u2019s still probably tough. What what we\u2019ll we\u2019ll talk about things and dancing, talk about moves. We\u2019ll talk about stuff but you know, it\u2019s not going to be a learning to dance show. Yeah.

Because usually when the students come in, they want to know, what are the judges looking for? What are if I\u2019m doing even if it\u2019s in studio doesn\u2019t have to be a big competition. It could just be something you\u2019re doing in the studio. What do What does everyone want to see work? How can I improve it?
