Hans and Anne Laxholm
Hans and Anne Laxholm are former European and World Amateur Champions. They were the first Danish dancers to become World Champions in the Standard Dances. After many years in the UK, Hans and Anne returned to their native Denmark, and in August 2004 they opened their studio, Dance Academy Laxholm. They were the start of our dancing career back in the Summer of 2010. Forever thankful.

Being a part of...
a community that is bigger than yourself and gives you the energy to grow. An environment that enables you to develop in your own unique way. In Buddhism they say only a few can walk the path alone, most people need the sangha to come back to. We never found it in Germany and it was always our missing link. This group of dancers and friends we found in Aarhus, Denmark.
Building our dream step by step.
Our dream was always to reach a great level of freedom in Ballroom Dancing and life in general. We started together in 2010 at the Dance Academy Laxholm in Denmark. Being in Balance with your partner in dancing and life is what we are focus on. In 2019 we reached our biggest success and became German Professional 10 Dance Champions. The same year we also made the final of the WDC Professional European 10 Dance Championship in Helsinki. We are teaching, dancing shows and also work in the theater. We are specialised as dancers and teachers in Old Time Dancing. Our famous Show in that style is "Where we came from...". Since Summer 2023 we are teachers of the Bundeskader Ice Skating and Ice Dancing, coaching them in the field of Ballroom Dancing. In 2024 we created a Ballroom Show with the theme Tina Turner: TINA! We are based in the beautiful area of Munich, Germany.
If you don't take it serious it is not fun - If you take it serious it will break your heart. So just play the game.
