Lance & company were very positive and uplifting (pun possibly intended). It was technically my first Zumba class and I loved it. We were at Outdoor Education at the Smith Center and Lance's target audience was 11-12 year-old middle school students. He began with a motivational anecdote--very appropriate--before the actual Zumba began. One possible suggestion is to let the students speak and respond briefly post-anecdote. He read the anecdote from cue cards and then just had everyone get up and dance. While his intention was to keep it short--and it was--middle school kids need time to absorb information and respond. Or, ask them a few follow up questions, such as "Did you ever try hard at something and fail? How did you feel? What are in the ingredients for success? What are your goals and dreams?" You roll with the energy--if the kids aren't responsive, then just launch into the dance routine... Also, the students have an OE workbook with plenty of space for reflection. Just drop a hint that they'll need to describe the Zumba/Motivational experience. Overall, Lance prepared a program that worked. As a teacher, there is always room for improvement... Lance's entourage was great as well... I also did appreciate the fact that he let the staff wear shirts and willing to wash them. He should have additional shirts for staff to purchase, NOT THE STUDENTS. Make no mistake, I really appreciated the loaner shirt, but felt like I really bonded well with Zumba and it has motivated me to do more of it... My only other suggestion is that the moves seemed identical for the 3 sessions. While I believe in mastering routines, he could have thrown in a few newer moves because the adults were there for 3 sessions in a row. Sure , it's mostly for the kids, but introducing a new song or 2 with a few new moves isn't going to ruin the energy of the routine. These are just some points to consider...In sum, Lance is super-positive and I wish him well with his future endeavors... Best, Mr. J. Argyle MS

Lance is an amazing speaker who is able to be vulnerable in sharing his personal story and bring connection through it to real life issues that many people can relate to and provide inspiring, practical ways to overcome and persevere. I highly recommend him as a motivational speaker.

Mr. Smith was very professional to deal with. He kicked off our Career Day and was able to get 800 high school students up and moving at 7:30 in the morning. He was motivational, inspirational and fun! We would definitely get him again!

Two year ago I joined a gym, where Lance was a Zumba instructor. It was his style, positive and great Zumba class that got me to stay. Lance is just a great dancer and person. Live his style!!!

Lance is an awesome, energetic and fun Zumba instructor! If you are looking for a fun way to keep in shape, look no further!! Lance helped me fall in love with Zumba for the first time! Zumba class to me was chaotic -- loud music and fast dance, but I find out Lance's class is a complete balance of body, mind and cardio workout! Just the right music, volume and great style of movement! He is so easy to follow I just wish there is a longer class! A 75 -- 90 minutes class would be wonderful. It seems the 60 mins is so short but time goes by fast when having a good time:-)
