INTRODUCING YOUR HOSTS

9x World Bachata Cabaret Champions and International Judges, Harold & Regan.

Their journey began with a dream to provide a global platform for dancers of all levels to learn Latin dance from top professionals. Their dance school, Dance World Co., based in Winnipeg, serves as a hub for training, coaching, and mentoring. They share their expertise globally, teaching and choreographing for teams in various countries. Having travelled the globe to destinations including Japan, Thailand, Spain, France, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, New Zealand, USA, Canada, and more, Regan and Harold are one of the few Canadian dancers who are internationally renowned and invited to judge the most prestigious dance competitions in the world.
