About Us

The "FORMATION" of Silhouette Ballroom Studios
Even from the beginning, Silhouette Ballrooms Studios was created to  be more than just a dance studio. Tricia's mission for Silhouette is to build character, modesty, virtue, kindness, confidence, respect, teamwork and leadership in the souls of today's youth.  These attributes are what make true champions in life.  The programs taught at Silhouette provide opportunities for youth to nurture these attributes in their lives in order to hone the skills that will help them succeed in their personal missions.

​Silhouette has strict guidelines and standards for behavior and dress and as a result of following these guidelines, the youth have learned to respect themselves and each other. The studio is a place of safety where all are allowed and encouraged to develop their talents and skills as dancers.

The Silhouette  Formation Teams have also competed on both  National and State levels as well as the AAU Junior Olympic Games and have received many Superior and Superior Plus ratings. The youth teams have achieved National Titles in the Latin, Ballroom, Novelty and Cabaret.
