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.

Reviews
It’s been amazing working with Gary! He is talented, patient and helped us choreograph a beautiful dance for our wedding. Because we aren’t dancers we started with basics and still ended up with something so elegant with the spins and little dramatics that I wanted. He’s punctual and really knows his stuff! I would recommend 1000 times!
We had the incredible fortune of meeting our dance teacher, Gary, when my husband decided to take up dance lessons for our wedding. The transformative journey he guided us through was beyond our expectations. His incomparable expertise, patience, and ability to breakdown complex steps into simple and understandable movements helped my husband not just become a better dancer, but also instilled a newfound confidence in him. What truly set him apart was his warmth and genuine interest in our lives. His lessons extended beyond the dance floor, teaching us life values through dance, that resonated deeply with us. He turned a daunting task for my husband into a journey of joy and self-discovery. We were students at first, but as we learned the rhythms and movements, we also built an unexpected bond. Gary became a dear friend, someone who celebrated our victories and offered words of encouragement when we stumbled. He made us feel welcome, comfortable, and confident in our own shoes when dancing. In summary, we didn't just learn to dance, we found a friend for life. This friendship is something we will cherish forever, and are so grateful to have met such an inspiring individual. We recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking an incredibly talented dance teacher and friend.
Amazing! we learned our dance in 2 hours it was simple but still elegant he made a story out of our wedding dance it was simplistically beautiful. He was very informative about dance and taught us everything we needed to know.
Gary is the best dancer and dance coach. He is professional, fun and an excellent person to help your dancer improve.
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!
What a great guy! Gary has the technique of a thoughtful instructor and supports your advancement constructively. Will definitely continue to work with Gary!
Wonderful coach! He helped us establish the basic steps for our first dance. It felt very romantic too! My partner can't dance and to create something beautiful and doable is magic!
I had a sudden ballroom dance audition that needed to be worked out and videoed immediately! I have no regular dance partner and so I took to the Internet and found Gary. He got back to me immediately. I hired Gary for an hour ... and he was a magic man! Worked out a Samba that made me look great ... and so many tips to really look ultra pro ! My agent loved the video ... and I can’t thank Gary enough for his great positive attitude, creativity and wonderful coaching . A master dancer and teacher ... cannot recommend him enough .
Great so far
