Izabela Jaworska

Izabela is a certified Ballroom Examiner for the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, with a Fellowship in International Ballroom and Licentiate in Latin styles.

She fell in love with dancing at age 7, and is a longtime ballroom teacher, competitor and adjudicator. A native of Poland, she represented that country with her former partner Robert Kubis in competitions in Europe, Asia and the United States. They were finalists in Standard and 10-dance Polish Championships, and won almost every U.S. Professional Rising Star title.

The biggest influences on her dance career have been Peter Eggleton, Bill and Bobbie Irvine, Marcus and Karen Hilton, Andrew Sinkinson, Luca and Loraine Baricchi, and Pierre Allaire.

In 1997, she was invited by Arthur Murray Dance Studios to work in one of their schools in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She became a U.S. citizen, and made Michigan her home.

Izabela has been a studio co-owner, has designed women’s dance fashions, and now teaches at the Dance Pavilion in Ypsilanti, Michigan. She has been rewarded with a large number of students in the region and is devoted to helping each student achieve his or her goals. Her teaching style focuses on technique and its nuances. She also recognizes how important it is for students to understand body mechanics. She brings her knowledge gained from studies in yoga and anatomy to develop students’ awareness of balance, strength, and flexibility.

She is working on her Fellowship in Latin style and continues her study of teaching methods. Her goal is to help her students become more musical, expressive, dynamic and artistic in their dancing.
