Over 30 years of Ballroom mastery.Shaped by competition, refined by coaching, driven to reveal why movement happens.Founder of the Beyond The Steps movement philosophy.
Based in Brisbane, Blair Petterd began Ballroom dancing at eight years old. That beginning grew into more than thirty years in the Ballroom world—as a professional competitor, high-performance coach, and dedicated researcher of movement.
As the founder of Beyond The Steps, Blair created an umbrella brand and educational framework to move dancers past rote step memorisation. His teaching ethos focuses on the underlying biomechanics, energy transference, and physical causes behind partner movement.
Whether working with competitive couples or social dancers, Blair delivers clear, practical insights that transform confidence, posture, and flow on the floor.
