Belinda Hockett started her dance career in 1983 as a trainee at a Fred Astaire Dance
Studio in Tampa, FL. After completing her training her love of ballroom dancing
and an opportunity to grow in her career led her to move to another Fred Astaire
Dance Studio in Inverness, FL. Purchasing the studio in 1987 she continued to teach
many students adding to the quality of their lives. Belinda won several “Freddy
Awards” as a top female instructor in the Fred Astaire Organization. As a competitor,
she competed in Ballroom and Country Western competitions both professionally and
with students. From 1992 through 1995 she won numerous awards for country dancing
and finished all in the top three including two World Championship Competitions.
Very active in the community, Belinda organized, choreographed and produced dance
production showcases with her students, performing in nursing homes, civic and charity
events around Citrus County. The Citrus County Chamber awarded her the “Outstanding
Individual” award in 1994 for her charity and community work.
After moving to Plano, TX in 2000 to start a family with her husband, her priority
was raising her 3 small children. Teaching dance was still very much in her heart
and she began teaching Line Dance at the Plano Senior Center soon after moving to
Texas and still teaches there today. In 2003 she began teaching for HPISD “Academy
of Lifelong Learning” couples ballroom and country dance. In addition she has taught
