I absolutely love the transformation that dance has on people and how it has changed so many lives. There is nothing like watching a child getting that step down or that wedding couple that completed a lift for he first time when they thought it was possible. One thing that make dance stick out is the sense of intrinsic entertainment and how it can affect other areas of your life.

Wil was an incredible dance teacher, and we’re so glad we found him. Over just five sessions, he helped us create a beautiful choreography that fit our song perfectly. Wil struck the perfect balance between covering a lot of ground and diving deep into specific sections when we needed it. Whether it was fine-tuning our footwork or explaining the flow of a particular move, he broke down the steps in a way that made sense for our level, giving us clear, actionable feedback that really helped us improve quickly. He has a great eye for detail, making sure to plan around things like the dress height, the type of shoes we’d wear, and the venue layout. Everything he taught felt tailored to our abilities, and it helped so much in building our confidence. We always left each session with a solid understanding of what we needed to work on, and his approach made the entire process productive and enjoyable. Wil was also great about pushing us just enough to step out of our comfort zone. I wasn’t sure I could pull off the lift at first, but he made it surprisingly easy for us. When we were feeling nervous about making mistakes on the day of, his advice to “strive for proficiency, not perfection” really helped settle our nerves. On top of all that, he’s just a really nice guy. He was always friendly, kind, and a joy to work with. He remembered all the little details of our routine, even when we had long gaps between sessions. If you’re looking for a dance teacher who is not only experienced but also genuinely invested in your success, we can’t recommend Wil enough!

Will was the best choreographer we could ask for; he was polite and approachable over the phone when I inquired about classes and pricing, and in our lessons Will was able to put together a snazzy choreography tailor-made to our skill and interests. For our first dance my wife and I wowed the crowd and received numerous cheers and roars from the crowd. Will further showed care for his craft by working with my wife to ensure her dress would not hinder her while dancing and minimized her risk of tripping over it.

Will was incredible!! He was very kind and patient with us as we were new to choreographed dancing. He was very thoughtful in how he taught us and made sure we practiced anything that we found challenging or weren’t grasping. He is truly very skilled at dancing and teaching those skills! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to dance for leisure or any occasion/event! 10/10!

Wil was absolutely amazing, I personally have no dance experience, my Fiancé has some experience through musicals she performed in. Wil choreographed an amazing dance for us that is beautiful and catered to our abilities. Each time we came in for a lesson was a highlight of our week, Wil was incredibly accommodating we had issues come up in our personal lives' day of our classes, and Wil was super understanding and worked with us to find a resolution. His openness and communication were amazing throughout the whole experience we could text him questions, or record portions of ourselves practicing and ask for advice on where we might be getting mixed up. For the service and end result we got, the choreographed dance was well worth the money! We cannot be more thankful to Wil for his help!

TL;DR We started from knowing nothing about dancing but moving our limbs. We were able to deliver some decent moves at our wedding in 7 weeks with Wil's help! - The whole experience is very noob friendly even for the shyest person on the world. - William definitely looks like a professional dancer to me with decades of experiences. His skill should easily be overkill for the vast majority of people's need: You just name the type of dance you want to achieve, the length of the duration and the music. William can singlehandedly come up with a plan and preliminary choreography. - The package of the lessons is pretty customizable. There's no mandatory fixed number of classes and you can adjust up and down based on your progress. (Of course there will be a recommended timeline that makes it practical) - You can also customize the drafted choreography if you want. E.g. when you see some moves online that you like or you suddenly got hit with some enlightening ideas from nowhere, William is alway there to consult and and help. As a bonus (besides the expectation to help you achieve your dance goal), William feels more like a friend than a "service provider".

My packages are the best for the the experience, knowledge and pricing over most other competitors. My work ethic is 110% and I really care about what you are trying I achieve.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first lesson is always a little bit longer than the rest, because I get to know the student’s background as a person and in dance. It is almost an evaluation of how coordinated they are and what can be best applied to their ability for in the time that they have decided to take for what they would be learning from me. Each style and reason a person has takes a different amount of time. For example a wedding couple might only need 5 classes, other might need 10 classes. Private dance students learning a certain style of dance might need an ongoing class for many months or years or they could be preparing to go on vacation where the style of dance would be seen quite frequently and they could want a few classes just to get them to the level of comfortable on the dance floor.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 3 college degrees, 2 of them concern performance art. The first one is a degree in Contemporary Dance and the second one is a degree in acting. However before I had these 2 degrees, I have had many excellent and not so excellent teachers around the world. From ballet, tap, jazz to salsa & bachata, ballroom and folkloric dancing. I also have many certifications in different styles of dances, like pole dancing and dance fitness. I am certified AFAA to work in any gym as a group fitness instructor. The most important part of my education has been the experience I have gained over the last 20 years especially when it has to do with customer relationships knowledge of when I’m teaching and to truly understand what people want.
