Gary was an incredible dance coach! We had a Bridgerton ball and wanted to learn a waltz. He really got the whole group engaged and we all had such a wonderful time learning from him! We will definitely be calling on him again for a different themed party.

It has been wonderful working with Gary! When I was searching for a dance instructor I felt like a beginner and he has given me so much confidence. I look forward to our lessons and working toward my goal of being able to dance pointe. He has been supportive, teaches with high expectations, and will break down what he is asking of me to ensure I am doing the steps correctly!
