All About Us…

Greg Bennett had a dream long ago to incorporate Fitness into Dance. A long time follower of strict diet and nutritional practices has paid off. He has enjoyed years of perfect health.

Mr. Bennett has over 52 years of professional ballroom dance training. His Instructional techniques were under Fred Astaire and Arthur Murray Studios. He also was actively involved and successful in health and fitness clubs in Atlanta, Georgia and Florida. He attained the title of co-founder and Manager of various health Clubs. Mr. Bennett also hosted numerous workshops in the Atlanta, Georgia and Colorado areas.

Ballroom dance competitions were a part of his dancing history. He was no stranger to first place awards. He saw the strong benefits of both ballroom dancing and fitness.

His positive approach and encouragement helped build confidence in his students. He feels that healthy eating and living along with a positive mental attitude, leads to a long and prosperous life. He is living proof at the tender age of a young 78 years.

Miss Robbie Pedigo, a Registered Nurse, age 55 is a mother of two grown sons.

Her love of dance began at a very early age in a local skating rink in Indianapolis Indiana. Her father would lead her in roller dancing before the age of 10. She continued roller dancing until 1974. She completed testing and earned two bronze bars in roller dancing.

She had her first ballroom instruction at Fred Astaire Studios in 1995. The seed for ballroom was also planted by her father. He was a former competitor and danced ballroom until 2003. He loved to dance until he passed away at the age of 89.

She began ballroom dancing in 1995. Greg became her dance instructor in 1997.

Robbie has practiced nursing for 30 years. She has been an instructor in the Nursing Department at Indian River College since 1996. She has successfully practiced in hospitals, Home health, and Physicians offices.

Being a survivor of cancer, and a near fatal auto accident in 2004, her desire has been to educate the public in health care.  She has been a public speaker in churches in Vero Beach and Sebastian on this subject.

She was honored in July of 2007 when she was recognized as outstanding educator and her name was published in the 11^th edition of “Who’s Who Among American Teachers and Educators”. This is an honor only 5% of the country’s premier educators receive each year.

In addition to being honored as an Educator, Robbie was published in an addition of Fitness through Dance!!!

Greg and Robbie joined as professional partners in July 2007.  Robbie continues to study ballroom dance under the direction of Greg.  Their vision for ballroom is to blend their areas of expertise in dance, health and fitness through instruction.

They have two mottos:

Fitness Through Dance
Romance Through Dance

Robbie and Greg encourage everyone, no matter the age to dance. 

They look forward to seeing you out on the dance floor real soon.
