Introduction

With 35 years of teaching exprience, I've learned how to make it easy to learn to dance. Bases on movements you use everyday( back, forward and side step) in conjunction with music. I'll have you dancing together in your first 5 minutes of your lesson. Learning to dance is a life changing exprience. Watching my students develop is rewarding and fulfilling. Dancing is a life long tool, you will use forever. Teaching dance to others is a gift I love sharing!

What an incredible experience. I contact Rodney two weeks before my sons wedding. He was able to accommodate us in his schedule. Rodney came in and put together a beautiful choreography for them and even though it was last minute he made a big difference with my son and his fiancée dancing skills. I will definitely hire him again. Thank you Rodney!

Rodney is FANTASTIC. I purchased five private lessons for my boyfriend and me to learn how to dance. I was incredibly nervous on our first lesson (I've been told I have "two left feet"), but Rodney immediately made me feel at ease. He has an incredible amount of patience and a really great sense of humor. He has the ability to very simply convey proper technique and form while keeping things fun and fresh. In the two lessons we've had, Jon and I have learned so much- while having a great time doing it. I also love the fact that his lessons are truly private- you don't have to share the space or music with anyone else. Rodney is well worth his fee (and then some). He comes highly recommended!

We are a senior couple preparing for a wedding. Rodney was very patient in taking time to help us learn the steps. He’s making it easy to understand and learn using everyday analogies. Can’t wait for the next lesson.

In just one lesson, we know how to dance for our wedding. He listened to our song and has us on track. All we have to do is practice. He is not just a great dancer. He is an excellent instructor. There is a huge difference. His analogies made the lessons stick. I Highly recommend him! You won’t regret it.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My sevices are bases on a hourly rate, in some cases travel expenses may be added. The hourly rate is also bases on how long the person or persons will be taking lessons , the type of lesson and how the lessons are paid( 1 at a time or in blocks of 5 or more)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I focus more on the fundamentals of partner dancing. Before you can do anything else, you must understand fundamentals. All partner dances are made up of 6 fundamental movements, the rest will be easy!!!
What types of customers have you worked with?
Having been a teacher for over 35 years, my focus now is Beginners and Wedding Couples. I enjoy helping them fulfill their goals.
