History
Established in 2003.
Although, Ballroom Bliss has been around since 2003, It has been operating full time since 2010 when Doug decided that his career of restaurant & retail management was no longer fulfilling and wanted more time with his family. So a risk was taken, and Ballroom Bliss went full-time. Doug has been teaching as a professional ballroom dance instructor since 2000 when he and his wife Kimberlee both taught for Arthur Murray in Pittsburgh, PA. Ballroom Bliss prides themselves on being able to teach anyone how to dance. As owner Doug McHugh say's "All you need is the desire, we will handle the rest". Currently we are the only full-time studio on the Cape and located in West Yarmouth. We can be found hosting dance parties most Friday nights at the studio, and are open to the public. We are also available for special events and fundraisers. We can come to you for that personal level of service, or you can come to the studio. Whatever your goal is, Ballroom Bliss will get you there.
Meet the Business Owner: Doug P.
With over 12+ years of professional ballroom dance instructional experience, and over 23+ years of business management in retail, restaurant, hospitality and hotel experience, Doug McHugh is passionate about ballroom dancing.
Doug's first experience with social dancing began in his teen years when his father was teaching social dancing at a community center. He joined the Pittsburgh, PA Arthur Murray team in 2000, where he learned both the lead and follow movements of all the major ballroom dance styles. A quick study, he began teaching and competing with students in as little as 3 months. Since that time, Doug has continued to teach independently with his wife, and all while working full-time in the hospitality and retail management industry. In the spring of 2010, Doug officially founded Ballroom Bliss, a full-time ballroom dance instruction business on Cape Cod.
His mission is to share his love of ballroom dancing with people of all ages and backgrounds.
