Jozef Kral is an internationally trained dance professional with more than two decades of experience in performing and teaching. Originally from Slovakia and now living in Naples, Florida, Jozef began his artistic journey at the age of four and entered the world of dance soon after. Over the years, he grew into an elite competitor in Latin American dances, earning his S-Class Latin ranking in 1998 and B-Class Ballroom ranking in 1997. He trained and performed at the highest levels, including as a member of the National Theater of Ostrava in the Czech Republic from 1999 to 2001, and later as an instructor at respected studios in Bratislava and Banská Bystrica from 2002 to 2008. Influenced by exceptional European coaches and inspired by renowned dancers such as Peter Maxwell, Vibeke Toft, and Alain Tornberg, Jozef brings a refined level of technique, musicality, and artistry into every lesson.

 

Known for his passion, patience, and dedication, Jozef teaches with great attention to detail and a genuinely caring approach. His professionalism and ability to tailor instruction to each individual make him a strong mentor for students of all levels, whether they are beginners or advanced competitive dancers. Jozef teaches American Rhythm, American Smooth, International Standard, and International Latin styles. He works with students preparing for Pro/Am competitions, showcases, wedding dances, private social dance lessons, and group classes, helping each dancer grow in confidence, skill, and expression.

 

After many years of focusing on his family and his work in software and hardware development, Jozef feels inspired to return to his true passion—dance and real human connection. He is excited to welcome many new students at Let’s Dance With Me Studio and looks forward to sharing his experience, enthusiasm, and positive energy with the Naples community.
