Who Started Kalamazoo Ballroom Academy
Brock and Teri Geer, the vibrant couple behind Kalamazoo Ballroom Academy, have beautifully melded their love for dance into a thriving business in Kalamazoo, Michigan. With over a decade of marriage and as parents to five children, they have mastered more than 20 partner dances, from the grace of the Waltz to the energy of the Swing. Teri, who transformed from a self-proclaimed “klutz” to a celebrated dance instructor, has garnered accolades like Miss Teen Dance and recognition among the top ballroom dance teachers in the U.S. Meanwhile, Brock, who initially approached dance with hesitation, now excels at boosting beginners’ confidence, leveraging his personal journey of overcoming dance fears. Together, they have created an inclusive and motivational space where individuals of any background can experience the transformative joy of dance.
