About The Divas
Billianne Dollard and Lisa Wilkinson, a/k/a The Traveling Dance Divas, are more than just ballroom dance instructors. They're also neighbors and friends!
Having witnessed, first-hand, the many ways in which ballroom dance has truly transformed people's lives, Billianne and Lisa decided to do something a little different. Instead of working out of the typical "ballroom studio" environment, they decided to take their considerable skills and, as a team, offer affordable ballroom dance lessons where they're used the most - in the community!
Billianne and Lisa are both residents of Naples, Florida and offer instruction in the Naples, Marco Island, and Bonita Springs areas.
