Star Dena Williams: Dena Johnson Williams is a proud Waco native who was blessed to spend more than 20 years as a stay-at-home mom, raising her four boys - Austin, Beau, Colby and Drake. In 2020, she earned her real estate license, beginning a new chapter of serving her community. Today, Dena is building a thriving business as Waco's favorite line dance instructor through Line Dance with Dena. She has enjoyed sharing her love of line dance through private lessons, corporate team-building events, parties, community gatherings, The Will of Waco, and a variety of special occasions. Eighteen months ago, Dena walked into Arthur Murray Dance Studio and discovered a whole new world of dance. Although she had never tried ballroom dancing before, the experience reignited her passion for dance and quickly became an obsession. Whether she's helping people learn their first line dance, or pursuing her own ballroom dance journey, Dena is passionate about creating fun, confidence, and community on and off the dance floor.

Pro Gregory Ivanova: Gregory Ivanova is a professional ballroom instructor at Arthur Murray Dance Studios of Waco. His dancing began after going to college, finding dancing a very addictive thing to do as a hobby. He now loves teaching because he meets new people and sees how it can evolve into not just a hobby but a passion and can bring joy into anyone's life. In his free time, he enjoys working on old cars, finding ways to be healthier, and doing anything outside.
