Valentin Paksi – Dance Teacher, Manager, Studio Owner

Valentin’s dance journey began at age 7 thanks to his grandma’s “gentle push”—even though he had very different plans at the time. What started reluctantly soon turned into a lifelong passion, opening doors to performances, summer camps, and unforgettable memories.

After graduating from a dance-focused high school in Hungary, he moved to Texas, where he grew from a beginner teacher into a national top performer, studio manager, and proud co-owner of Fred Astaire Dance Studio McKinney alongside his partners Alexandra and Mihaly.

Today, Valentin’s greatest joy is building a strong team and helping others dance their dreams into reality.

Fun fact: Valentin once thought he’d become a soccer player… until dance steps kicked in instead.

If you want it even tighter, more professional, or more inspirational, tell me the vibe and I’ll adjust it exactly.
