Brett L Long LLC
About
40 years experience, focusing on pure social dancing. I teach lead/follow connection, balance, speed control, footwork, and muscical phrasing.
I will share a lifetime of dance knowledge made manageable for your level, goals and interests.
When i see that little smile. Especially the first one.
I teach single lady's and couples, usually the woman smiles first, not easy to spot but i can tell when it's going to happen.
That look that says this is fun, I (we're) getting it.
If you've taught for decades, you know it happens after the knees unlock, the feet start to glide and the connection is clicking.

If you come to lessons voluntarily i will amaze you with your dance progress.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Saturday night partner dance meetup at Banque western bar :)
So I like line dancing.. beats the gym.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask if the teacher does showcase exhibitions and competition.
Showcase and Pro/Am Competitive dancing while somewhat related to Social dancing, are definitely not the same thing.
Ask how much 5 (forty minute) lessons cost AFTER the starter package ends.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Do you want to perform or compete?
There are better teachers for performance or competition then me.
Want to be admired at dance clubs and events, or just get by and not look like a dork? I got you covered.
