I want to thank all my students and friends for their support! I love to teach, but I could not do it without students. And the best way to get new students is with referrals.

Dancing makes me happy and I believe that it will enrich your life. If you haven't tried it yet, come see me!

In the beginning all you have to do is show up for class once a week. No practice, or study or exams. After a few weeks you will be able to dance a little and can start practicing a little. Before you know it you will be on the dance floor!
