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.

We got married on 5/21/22 in France and took 1 single class with William just a few days before our trip. We had learned a first dance by ourselves with Youtube videos but the result wasn't that great in our opinion and we were feeling like we needed some serious help to make our dance look good. In just one lesson, William helped us correct bad habits we had taken, helped us replace some dance moves that we were not comfortable with, taught us how to occupy the dance floor better and helped us make our dance look a lot more smooth and more elegant. He helped my husband understand how to guide me, and taught me how to let it go and follow, which resolved a lot of our dancing issues and made the whole dance more enjoyable for the 2 of us. On the day of our wedding, with the stress, we made a mistake in the first few seconds of our dance and my husband was able to bounce back and get us back on track. I am 100% sure that we would have been confused and out of sync for the whole dance because of that mistake, had we not had that 1 lesson with William the week before. William also helped us prepare an entrance to introduce our dance and an elegant end after the dance. We didn't know we needed that but are so grateful that he recommended it! William never criticized how we were dancing but he was able to build on our abilities really fast to perfect our dance with the little time we had. It was a fantastic experience and my only regret is that we didn't come to him sooner!

Will is great! We came to him not really knowing what style of dance we wanted to learn, and with absolutely no experience. He has been patient and so easy to work with. We are enjoying our lessons so much, we just signed up for more!

Working with Will was so easy and fun. He helped choreograph our wedding dance from scratch! My fiance and I were very nervous as we both have zero dance skills/experience; we weren't sure we would be able to do anything at all, but Will was both an excellent teacher and choreographer. He made it very easy for us - he was kind and patient with us and helped encourage us, even when we made lots of mistakes. As he choreographed our routine, he gave us lots of different options to consider to make sure we enjoyed all of the steps we were doing! We now have a lovely dance routine for our wedding! We really enjoyed our time learning with Will, and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Will was a great instructor and choreographer! His lessons were fun and made us feel at ease. We got so many compliments, all thanks to Will and how good he made us look. We even had people ask us how long we've been taking dance lessons, even though we only did six lessons. He even taught us how to do a lift!

We hired William and purchased the 5 class package for our first dance, which we felt was perfect! We told him our song and he was able to choreograph a beautiful routine for us. He also made sure to note what my dress style and what our venue would look like so he could create a routine that would accommodate both. We would record videos of our routine so we could reference it while we practiced and would follow up on suggestions at the next lesson. My husband and I have no ballroom experience but William was very patient with us. He was very flexible with our busy work schedules as well. We highly recommend William if you are looking for someone to choreograph your first dance! What a special day it was for us and we cannot thank him enough for this amazing experience. We received many comments about how beautiful our first dance was. Thank you William!

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.
