Meet Paul

World Class Professional Dance Instructor

In the mid seventies Paul Pellicoro was part of the New York club  scene which had reached new heights of popularity with the emergence of  disco music and the dance it gave birth to, the Hustle. The Hustle  transformed Paul along with the rest of world as it ignited an interest  in partner dancing in pop culture, seducing Paul even further to study  American and International Style Ballroom Dance. 


Paul’s talent would  soon allow him to work at numerous studios until 1985 when he opened the doors in NYC to his own studio with the goal of introducing partner dancing to popular as well as traditional culture, taking a more contemporary  approach than previously seen in the Ballroom world.


Paul emphasized social dance as well as competitive style and street  style dances such as Hustle and Salsa, and was instrumental in introducing New York to an authentic style known as Argentine Tango,  expanding the scope of the Ballroom scene.


Paul has extensive film experience both as a performer and  choreographer. In the early 90’s he came to national attention when he  trained Academy Award winner Al Pacino for his sizzling tango scene in  the hit movie, “Scent of a Woman”.


In 1995 Paul founded the Partner Dance Educational Fund, a  not-for-profit organization with a stated mission to bring partner  dancing to a wider public. Currently, the Fund sponsors free dance  workshops in New York City public schools and private spaces


Paul Pellicoro’s DanceSport Studio in New York was the largest Latin &  Ballroom Dance Studio, and was host to celebrity clients, dance  television shows, as well as social and competitive dancers of all ages.  The studio was world renowned for preserving the art of partner and  social dancing through all its forms.
