Not Your Average Dance School

We were excited to learn all about Empire Ballroom Studios and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner and founder, Sid Pocius.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Empire Ballroom Studios stand apart from its competitors. Sid said:

“The main ingredient is our foundation for fundamentals. We are all professional dancers. It is our hobby, our lifestyle, and our passion. We are having fun and providing the best service that we can. We try to take care of every single person.”

Sid told us that he got his start teaching at other studios, but he was never really happy with how they were doing things, so he created a studio of his own, operated by people with a passion for dance. He shared:

“We are dancers! I have danced and competed around the world and had a successful career in dancing. The benefits of dancing are endless; it promotes teamwork, social skills, culture, and health.”

Building Success And Community

Empire Ballroom Studios has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Sid how they have managed to grow their business and get such great reviews. He said that he never asks for reviews, and that his clients must be leaving them organically.

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Empire Ballroom Studios has spread the word about who they are and what they do by participating in local events and staying involved with the community.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Empire Ballroom Studios has managed to. We asked if Sid could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Go the extra mile. You cannot ever do too much. You have to be an expert in your industry, and people will appreciate that they are getting quality service.”

Sid ended our chat with this lovely sentiment:

“We want to make sure our clients know that they are important to us.”


Congratulations to Empire Ballroom Studios for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Sid for taking the time to speak with us!
