Sounds like you are at a great age to get into this, and it sounds like you have a great beginning to be really good.

Not usre of what kind of dancing or studio you are loking for, but try to find this guy - Ronnie DeBennadetta (check the spelling). He has many students and they all win at events all over the US. He does NC2S, ECS, WCS, Hustle, Waltz, Cha, and all the C/W dances. He is one of the best. Do a search for him in the area. You will not be disappointed!

Let me know how it goes . . .
