The LaBlast difference
Teach the dance—not a memorized routine.
Patternography is LaBlast's signature teaching system. Instead of learning fixed choreography for every song, instructors master authentic ballroom patterns they can combine, repeat, and adapt to the people in front of them.
The patterns stay. The music changes. Every class feels fresh.
| Teaching task | Choreography-first fitness | LaBlast Patternography |
|---|---|---|
| Prep | Memorize a routine for each song. | Build from repeatable dance patterns. |
| Focus | Concentrate on what comes next. | Stay focused on your class. |
| Adaptability | Relearn choreography to make changes. | Adapt patterns in the moment. |

Meet Louis
World-champion expertise. Everybody-belongs energy.
Three-time World Ballroom Champion and Dancing with the Stars professional Louis van Amstel created LaBlast to make authentic ballroom movement accessible beyond the competition floor.
“If you can clap it, you can dance it.”
That idea guides every LaBlast class: hear the rhythm, learn the pattern, and make the movement your own.
