Jon Gutierrez began his dance journey at age 14 as part of the Westland Hialeah High School dance team, where he quickly developed a deep love for movement, performance, and self-expression. Growing up Latino in the heart of Miami, Jon was surrounded by rhythm, culture, and music—elements that continue to fuel his passion for dance today. He had the honor of performing at charity galas for organizations like FIU and Miami Children’s Hospital, experiences that solidified his belief in dance as a powerful way to uplift and inspire.
With a strong foundation in contemporary, ballet, jazz, and hip hop, Jon later expanded his repertoire to include Zumba and eventually ballroom dancing. A true lover of Latin music and dance, he brings vibrant energy and authentic flair to everything from salsa to cha-cha.
Now proud to be part of the Fred Astaire South Tampa Dance Studios family, Jon thrives on helping students build confidence, connect through movement, and discover their joy on the dance floor. Whether working with complete beginners, wedding couples preparing for their big day, or anyone ready to chase their dance dreams, Jon’s greatest reward is creating a fun, inclusive environment where every step is a celebration.
