“We are extremely proud of our students for their performances and of the studio as a whole,” said Sam Gordon, Owner of Go Dance. “Having just won Top Studio at the Crown Jewel national competition in May, I believe our consistently strong presence is a testament to the quality training our ballroom specialists provide and the passion our students bring to the dance floor. It is through this hard word and dedication that we are able to represent both Knoxville and East Tennessee well.”

Southern Heat is an annual ballroom dance competition hosted by National Dance Clubs (NDC) of Murfreesboro in Murfreesboro, TN. Southern Heat’s mission is to showcase quality dancing, offer a platform for competition, promote that unique brand of dancer camaraderie, provide southern hospitality and, of course, foster passion for dancing.
