ANNA TREBUNSKAYA
You Can Dance Studio
1089 Aviation Blvd.
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
When she’s not competing on DWTS, Anna Trebunskaya is an instructor of ballroom technique at this SoCal studio. Her mom is a teacher, too, and can be credited with getting Anna going in the business. With a mission to have fun while dancing, learn something new, and make new friends, you shouldn’t be shy about shimmying here.

Kym Johnson also hosts online dance-based Star Fit Workouts you can connect to from home through here.
