Meet Amy Ross, founder of The Crystal Ballroom Dance Center in Worthington, Ohio — where couples learn real dancing, not just wedding choreography, and leave with confidence that lasts far beyond the first dance. The first dance is only three minutes long — but the memory lasts forever. That's the philosophy behind The Crystal Ballroom Dance Center on The Wedding Connect , founded by Amy Ross in Worthington, Ohio, where couples learn real dancing that creates moments they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
