Peter Gomez began Synchronized Ballroom/Round Dance dancing in 1995 and teaching in 2000. It was at that time that Chama Lee joined him on the dance floor and they began their journey into the world of Round Dancing. They hold classes all year teaching dance phase levels I thru V at their weekly beginner & intermediate classes in San Marcos, CA. In addition to teaching & cueing for their club, the Happy Feet Round Dance Club, Peter regularly cues for numerous local Square Dance clubs in the greater San Diego area, including the Circulators, Sandpipers, Wranglers, Twirlers, and special dance events for the San Diego, Back Country & Palomar Square Dance Associations.

They enjoy supporting & promoting the Round Dance activity by attending & cueing at as many local, regional, and national square and round dance festivals as possible, and are featured instructors at round dance weekends throughout the western United States.

Peter and Chama are members of Roundalab and the San Diego Round Dance Instructors Association. They are serving their fifth consecutive term as SDRDI Vice-Presidents & as Festival Chaircouple for the SDRDI Annual Round Dance Festival.

As Peter & Chama continue on their dance journey, they look forward to retirement when they will be able to dedicate more of their time to dance teaching & choreography. Until then, they will continue to cherish all the new experiences & friendships they make along the way, and impart on all dancers that:

"It isn’t how you LOOK on the dance floor; it’s how you FEEL on the dance floor.

Enjoy the romance of the dance with your favorite dance partner"…& remember to…

Live, love, learn...& dance, dance, dance!
