History

Established in 1992.

Both Gocha and Shorena are originally from the former-​Soviet Republic of Georgia. Shorena started to dance at the age of four in her father’s ballroom dance school. While a young student at the Nikoladze College of Art, Gocha visited Mr. Gachechiladze’s dance studio to learn ballroom dance. Shorena and Gocha began competing together, and in short order became very successful, winning the Georgian Amateur Championships in both Latin and Standard dance six times. After they had an opportunity to visit Dallas to dance, they immigrated to the United States to continue their careers in a freer environment. In 1993 Gocha and Shorena entered the U.S. competitive dance scene, quickly becoming successful, and reaching the final rounds in several national championships. Today Gocha and Shorena have established a successful coaching practice in the Dallas-​Fort Worth area, developing and assisting a wide range of professional and amateur dance competitors from all over the U.S.
