What World Champion Productions does
World Champion Productions is a privately held, owner-operated boutique dance studio operating two physical locations in the Greater Nashville, Tennessee market — a flagship in Hendersonville (opened 2005) and a second studio in Mt. Juliet (opened 2011), each featuring a raised hardwood dance floor and a dedicated music system. The studio delivers in-person ballroom, Latin, swing, salsa, and wedding dance instruction under the Dance Vision International Dance Association (DVIDA) curriculum, an internationally recognized teaching methodology, and employs a bench of DVIDA- and NDCA-certified instructors across smooth, rhythm, standard, and Latin styles. The owner, David Elkin, holds four World Titles, seven U.S. Titles, and three British Titles in competitive Ballroom, and the broader staff includes a Rising Star Champion and alumni of the Miami Heat and Atlanta Falcons dance teams.
The studio sells private lessons, group classes, wedding choreography, and a recurring community-events calendar (weekly Friday Night Live Band/Open Bar parties, Saturday Night Socials, biweekly Nights Out on the Town, seasonal shows, and a national/international Travel Club). Pricing begins at $35 per lesson with a free first lesson for new students, and gift cards are sold via a Gift Up integration. Customer acquisition is community-led: organic SEO, an extensive blog, BBB accreditation, email, and word-of-mouth referrals all drive leads into the studio's recurring-event ecosystem, which functions as the primary retention mechanism.
Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company has no external funding, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Headcount is in the 11–50 range across both locations. The studio is structurally a local services business with a strong talent- and brand-driven competitive position in its specific submarket, but with no disclosed digital product, no multi-city footprint, and no technology-platform thesis beyond its content marketing and self-service booking layer.
