Bob Urbon
Bob began teaching at the Charles Mattison Dance Studio in 1962. Bob & Penny have taught in the Chicago area for many years. They taught at the "Chicago Dance Club" for several years, to take over the space after the owner decided to move to Arizona. Thus began the new business "Chicago Dance" and the journey to build a customer base and the reputation of Chicago Dance with a new generation of dancers. After seven extremely successful and wonderful years, they received an offer to purchase the business. On January 3rd 2000, Gregory Day, who began teaching in Chicago at Chicago Dance, and his partner Tmmye Giacchino purchased the business. These days, Bob & Penny continue to do what they love best - teaching and sharing the joy of ballroom dancing with as many others as possible. Their goal is to promote Ballroom Dancing and to provide easy access to information about where to dance and/or take lessons. For that purpose, Bob established the web site www.ballroomchicago.com
