Our Mission
At Valor Ballroom Dance Centre, we believe ballroom dancing is more than movement—it’s a powerful expression of confidence, elegance, and joy at any age. Whether you're beginning or rediscovering your dance journey at age 10 or 100, our world-class instructors bring grace and strength together in a space that welcomes those looking for transformation.
You’ve faced life head-on—with grace, courage, and resilience. Now, it’s time to step onto the dance floor and reclaim your rhythm. Valor Ballroom is where people move with purpose. Our signature approach combines the timeless beauty of ballroom with a fierce sense of self—no apologies, no hesitation. Where every step is a celebration of courage, self-discovery, and the power of reinvention.
Here, we don’t just teach dance.
We awaken confidence. We channel power.
And we do it all in heels, or whatever makes you feel unstoppable.
Your next chapter has music. Let it begin with a single step.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone feels strong, seen, and unstoppable. Through the rhythm of ballroom dance, Valor Ballroom Dance Centre aims to inspire personal transformation, build a vibrant community, and redefine what it means to move with power and purpose.
Our Instructors
Riley Cross is a dedicated Ballroom and Latin dance instructor who began her professional journey in 2017 with Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Marlton, NJ. Since then, she has continued to deepen her expertise in partner dance through advanced training at studios across South Jersey and Philadelphia.
Riley’s dance foundation began at the age of 9 at Samantha’s Dance in Sicklerville, NJ, where she studied ballet, tap, and jazz, and performed as part of competitive and performance teams. By 12, she began training as a teacher, a passion that’s remained central to her work ever since.
In 2008, she expanded her ballet training under Erin Royston (University of the Arts) at Cedarbrook Dance Academy. Currently, Riley also teaches ballet, tap, and jazz at Little Stars Dance Studio in Bear, Delaware, and brings a strong technical background and warm teaching style to every class she leads.
