They’re a Tom and Katt dance duo
Guys two, three and four or more times Tom Balaj’s age may want to know what it takes to dance with Catherine “Katt” Saliba.
It takes knowing how, for one thing.
Tom, 10, a fifth-grader at Miami Valley School, studies with Saliba at Always Ballroom studio in Dayton and competed with her recently in the 2008 Ohio Star Ball in Columbus, the largest ballroom dance contest in the United States.

The only junior competitor from the Miami Valley, he was the youngest in a field of more than 60 couples on Tuesday, Nov. 16, during which he didn’t win the overall title for the Bronze level (his category), but he did take a first place. He was back on the floor with her on Saturday, Nov. 22, to compete in five international-style dances: waltz, fox trot, Viennese waltz and quickstep.
