About this pro

Starting dance at the age of 10, I decided to transform my passion into a profession at 18 years old by joining the Atlanta Ballet in 2003. I began my professional ballroom dance career at Fred Astaire Virginia Beach before joining the Fred Astaire Fairfax studio in 2012. I have been a professional instructor for Fred Astaire for over ten years and have been thoroughly examined by the Fred Astaire Dance board members to teach within the Fred Astaire dance curriculum. I am a member of the NDCA and actively compete both Pro-Am and professionally.

I enjoy taking people who have little to no dance experice and helping them realize that dancing is something that they can easily do and have a good time doing it.

Jason is a simply wonderful teacher. Besides being a wonderful dancer, he knows so many, many dance steps, not just Fred Astaire. He is patient and kind and funny. Classes are always both fun and a wonderful learning experience. His past history of ballet always adds to the experience, which is just remarkable. He is a wonderful teacher.
