About Instructor Denise Bostdorf
Denise Bostdorf has been dancing since the age of four. She began ballroom dancing during college and after just a few months was invited to begin teacher training. She worked for Arthur Murray Studios for ten years in California, New Mexico and Colorado. Denise and her partner were Rising Star champions and ranked 4th in the U.S. in American Smooth categories. Denise went on to spend the next five years working in a management position with the Starlite Ballroom in San Jose, California, the largest ballroom in the U.S. This gave her the very rewarding experience of working with all kinds of people in many different capacities. Denise now lives here in Pennsylvania with her husband, himself an ex-dance instructor, and their adorable son, Nash. Nash occasionally allows them to get out to dance a few times a year and they still love it! She currently also works as a Certified Massage Therapist and teaches fitness classes at the YMCA in Shrewsbury. Denise is looking forward to sharing her experience with York Dance Arts and working with the Director, Connie.
