Dedicated to helping students understand the dances from their culture, by the movements, and with the music. More than just catering to the needs and wants of the learner, I strive to help create goals and push for more. All while educating them in proper social dancing etiquette. The history and "roots" of any craft will always grow stronger with new people and New Roots. Always love to see people grow and become more comfortable not only with their body and body movements, but with themselves....
