This Class Is Led
By Denis Filonenko.

Denis is a U.S. National Champion in ballroom dance. Together with his partner Anna, he co-founded Feel Dance Team. Denis teaches this program himself — you get the champion, not an assistant.

The 6-Week Program

One Dance.
Mastered Properly.

Most beginner programs scatter you across five dances. You leave knowing fragments of everything and nothing well. We take the opposite approach — one dance, studied deeply, from the ground up.

What to expect

Real technique — not just steps, but body mechanics that actually work
Personal attention — small group, Denis teaches every class
Progression — each week builds on the last, nothing is random
A celebration — the final class ends with champagne

Rumba — Your Foundation Dance

Six weeks dedicated entirely to Rumba. Not an overview — a real immersion into one of the most expressive and technically demanding dances in the Latin repertoire.

6 Weeks · Deep Immersion
Most people learn steps. We teach you how to move. There is a difference — and after six weeks, you will feel it.
I

The Body Before the Steps

Rumba begins with posture, alignment, and how weight moves through the body. Before we touch choreography, you will understand how to stand, how to shift, and why that changes everything. This is the foundation that separates dancers who look trained from dancers who look natural.

II

Footwork & Timing

The Rumba has a specific and exacting rhythm — slow, quick, quick — that must become second nature. We work on precise foot placement, weight transfer, and how to feel the beat rather than count it. When your footwork is correct, the hips follow on their own. That is the goal.

III

Hip Motion as Technique

The iconic Rumba hip action is not a stylistic choice — it is the result of correct mechanics. We do not teach you to “move your hips.” We teach you to move your feet and weight in a way that produces natural, fluid hip motion. The difference is everything.

IV

Figures, Arms & Lines

As the fundamentals settle into the body, we expand the routine with new figures and bring the upper body to life. Arm styling in Rumba is its own language — expressive, precise, and deeply personal. You will learn to shape lines that feel genuine, not performed.

We work on turns, open breaks, underarm passes and Cuban motion patterns. Each figure is introduced only when the body is ready to hold it cleanly.
V – VI

Musicality & The Full Picture

The final weeks are about bringing everything together — not just executing steps, but responding to the music. We work on phrasing, dynamic contrast, and how to let a song move through your body rather than simply counting beats. The last class is a full run, followed by a glass of champagne.

By Week 6 you will have a complete Rumba routine, real technique in your body, and the ability to walk onto a dance floor with confidence.

At the end of six weeks, you will not just know a dance — you will understand how to dance. That understanding does not leave you.

Questions

Common Answers

Do I need a dance partner?

You can come either way — solo or with a partner. The program is specifically designed to work for both. If you come solo, you will still dance every class and learn every element of Rumba fully. If you bring a partner, the experience deepens further. There is no wrong choice here.

Can I drop in for a single class?

No — and there is a reason for that. This program is structured like a university course: each week builds directly on the last. If you miss a class, the best way to catch up is through a private lesson with Denis — that is exactly what the private lesson add-ons in our packages are designed for.

Why only one dance for 6 weeks?

Because real technique takes time. Most beginner programs spread across five dances — you leave knowing fragments of each. We go deep into one dance so you actually feel the difference in your body, your posture, and your confidence. One dance done properly is worth more than five dances done superficially.

What is the difference between the packages?

All packages follow the same 6-week group curriculum with Denis. Private lessons give him time to focus entirely on your body — your posture, your specific habits, your personal progress. The more private lessons, the more tailored and accelerated your transformation.

I have zero experience. Is this really for me?

This program is designed specifically for complete beginners. Denis has worked with hundreds of adult beginners and knows exactly how to make someone feel comfortable and capable from the very first class.

What if I miss a class or cannot attend after enrolling?

All course purchases are final and non-refundable. Missed classes are not refundable and cannot be deducted from the course price. Course purchases are personal and cannot be transferred to another person without written approval from Feel Dance Team.
