How did you get started teaching?
Career dancer and teacher J.Patrick Clements started competitive ballroom dancing in the Cincinnati Ohio area and has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe competing as an amateur and professional ballroom dancer in International Latin and ten-dance categories.
Now an authority in the industry with almost 25 years experience, he enjoys performing and competing with his students, as well as introducing new people to the joys of social and competitive dancing.
He is an incessant student of dance, and counts himself very fortunate over the years to have had the experiences and opportunities to travel the globe and perform and teach among the best talents in the world.
Having acquired ownership of the historical Step-N-Out Dance Studio in 2013, and now spearheading the Midwest Ballroom & Dancesport Club, Patrick is excited to continue his strong reputation of dance excellence in the Greater Cincinnati community.
What types of students have you worked with?
Children and adults of all ages, including wheelchair paradancing.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Taking students to Italy to compete in the international dance festival and winning top pro/am teacher.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
There are many dance studio's about that have a franchise system of "burn and turn" where you will pay entirely too much for a teacher that has literally never been trained as a dancer.
These people are salesmen not dancers...
I encourage you to support the dancers, and find yourself a true coach and trainer with a vast history of producing successful students.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1)Time...
2)budget...
3)Goals!...
