Bojan Savic, Dance Instructor
Born in Banja Luka, Bosnia, where at the age of 10 started to dance and soon realized that dancing was not just a summer hobby.  He was selected as one of the few young talents from his school and started partner dancing.  As he matured in dancing, he got into competitive ballroom and latin dancing, and accomplished many awards in the competitive circuit in Europe. 

In September 2000, he was invited to move to Jacksonville, FL and started his teaching career and his life in the United States.  Shortly after he met Allan Alday in early 2001, they have become great colleagues, friends and business comrades.  Bojan’s vibrant personality and energy, and his passion for dancing have made him a successful dance partner with pro partners and students alike.
