Hi! I'm Allen Driskill. By day I'm a mild-mannered Research Scientist for a major metropolitan tech company. But, when I'm not earning a living, I'm a dancer and a dance teacher.

  I teach ballroom dances like Foxtrot, Waltz, Quickstep and Tango.  I give lessons in East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, and Hustle.  I also teach Latin dances like ChaCha, Rumba, Meringue, Samba, Mambo and Salsa.  I can even get you started in Nightclub Two Step, Country Two Step or Polka.  

  I teach in and around Worthington, Ohio, USA.  Many of my students come from Columbus, Ohio, and its suburbs: Dublin, Granville, Hilliard, Upper Arlington, and Westerville.  In a world of young, thin, handsome dance instructors, I think I stand out from the crowd!

I am a graduate of MSU¹, OSU², and WU³. I am also a proud alumni of, and certified by, MIT⁴ and FFSDA⁵. (I love footnotes because they sound like they should have something to do with dancing, but they don't.)  My real credentials are being a dance student myself since 1986, and a dance teacher since 2003.

I only teach Social Dancing: easy-going, non-competitive dancing that's just for fun, exercise, and socializing. It's a great hobby, a wonderful excuse to spend time with your Significant Other, and the ticket to membership in a huge world-wide community of friendly and fun-loving people.

My wife, Edie Milligan Driskill, is also a dancer and a teacher. If I'm "a little bit ballroom" then she's "a little bit country." She prefers line-dancing, partner-pattern dancing, and country lead-follow dances like Two-Step. For info on her WILD Country (We're Into Line Dancing) club, check out the "WILD Country" Google Group or read their latest press releases.

Together, my wife and I hosted and instructed at the "Dance With UU" every Monday night from the summer of 2005 to it's retirement in December, 2009. I teach Sunday afternoon group classes at my home, and private lessons on weekday afternoons/evenings. Edie teaches at the Worthington and Dublin Community Centers, and the Aladdin Shrine Temple. We have also taught at many of the social dance venues around Columbus, Ohio, like the dances at the Elizabeth Blackwell Center and the weekly swing clubs. There's more info about all our classes on the events page.

Anyway, on with the show. You probably want to click on one of those links on the left to get started. I hope you have fun on the site, and I hope to see you in one of my classes soon.
