The Champion Ballroom Academy (founded April 1990) is a dance studio in San Diego, California. Its main specialties are social partner-dancing, competitive ballroom dance (aka. Dancesport) and the Latin-dance-based aerobic program Core Rhythms.[1]

The studio also hosts weekly social dances open to the public, and other monthly events hosted by local dance and social organizations.[2][3]

Since founder Mary Murphy's casting as a judge of the Fox TV series So You Think You Can Dance,[4] the studio has expanded its repertoire to include guest instructors of other dance styles, including hip hop, flamenco, and contemporary dance.

The studio also hosts at least two showcase parties per year, which include judged dance contests, professional exhibitions, and special guest performances of ballroom and other dance styles.

Special guests and showcase highlights have included:
