What to Expect

My coaching focuses on each dancer’s unique journey. Based on your goals and expectations, I will assess if there is a “fit” and may recommend other instructors or approaches when appropriate. If you train with me, you can expect:

  • Encouragement, abundance, and tough love when needed
  • An emphasis on core technique and the essence of West Coast Swing
  • Simple, consistent rules that make it possible to dance your best dance with any partner
  • Deft troubleshooting and repertoire building
  • Practice drills to improve quality of movement and musicality
  • Video analysis and accountability
  • A mentor and friend in the dance
