Default Where to go for "serious" ballroom dancing?

My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are "serious" ballroom dancers. They've taken years of classes, done competitions and go dancing several night a week in Las Vegas (they live nearby). When they come to visit us in TV, is there a place we can point them to that does "serious" ballroom dancing? Not the introductory stuff that two-left-footers like myself can barely handle, but high-end, real talent stuff.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!

There was Katie Bells, no longer. Think there is a place in Ocala where the real pro's go.

Dances at Seabreeze on Monday at 7:00, Bridgeport on Saturday at 7:00. These are not formal dances but practice dances. There are very good dancers at both dances, although there are newer dancers as well.

I agree about Dieter, he has been a professional ballroom dancer for years. He's a really nice guy and I'm sure he'll help you find places for you BIL and friend to go. Good luck.
