Bree Blevins has dedicated her professional life to the art of ballroom dancing. A proud Portland native, Bree graduated from the University of Oregon where she majored in Anthropology and Dance Studies. Bree began her career with Arthur Murray Dance Studios, where she quickly became one of the top instructors in the western region. Dancing professionally, she made the finals of the World Dance-O-Rama in 2002, dancing American Smooth. She continues to train both as a professional competitor and instructor.

Bree has taken her students to many competitions in places such as Canada, Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, Minneapolis and San Francisco. Many of her students have taken home top honors in the competitions. She recently started teaching beginner group classes on Tuesday nights at the Weatherford Grand Lodge Ballroom in the historic district of Oregon City. She is also teaching Cardio Latin Jam, a fun way to work out and learn some Latin dance basics like the samba, cha cha and salsa. Bree is a fresh and enthusiastic dance instructor for Ballroom Parkrose. You may contact her at one of the following websites:  breeblevins@gmail.com or www.ballroombreeze.gotdns.com .

Bree is also involved in her husband Darin’s family winery. King’s Raven Winery is one of the closest destination wineries, located only 30 minutes south of Portland in Oregon City. With its beautiful views of the Willamette Valley, it is no wonder that their winery is becoming such a success. They are open for wine tasting and have a half acre outdoor space that is ideal for weddings, movie nights and other private functions. Go to www.kingsravenwine.com for more information.
