Hunter & Maria Johnson at The Dance Place
Originally from Houston, Hunter Johnson became interested in dance some years ago and went through training to become an instructor. Not satisfied with just teaching dance, he decided to enter professional competitions. In his quest to become a top-ranking competitor, Hunter left Houston for California where he eventually teamed up with Maria Z who is now also his wife.
Hunter and Maria Johnson have done very well on the competitive circuit, and were recently the star performers at the Bill and Bobby Irvine Awards in London, England. This was a singular honor in which Hunter and Maria were the first couple asked to perform American style Smooth dancing to some of the finest and most well-respected dance professionals in the world.
Having recently moved to Houston, Hunter and Maria could have chosen any studio to teach out of, so we are very happy they chose The Dance Place. The do travel a lot to coach, do shows, teach in California, etc., but both are happy to fit new clients into their schedules.
