Dawn Deramo

Dawn's passionate drive for dance is a force to be reckoned with. Since joining the Paper Moon family in 2007, she has immersed herself in group classes, private lessons and countless hours of daily practicing. Her dedication can be seen in the constant improvement of her technique and in her knowledge of the dances. Dawn has already competed twice on the Pro/Am circuit: first in 2007 at the Commonwealth Classic in Massachusetts, and most recently at Northeastern Open Dancesport Invitational in Connecticut. Both times she took home first and second place wins in Rumba, Cha Cha, Bolero, Samba and Swing!  Dawn's caring and compassionate nature comes through in the glow on her face, and the friendships she forms. When she’s not dancing, she is supporting her husband in his roofing and carpentry business.
