Augie is fantastic! I was nervous on my 1st lesson and he helped me feel at ease. He is helping me to learn a few dance steps so I can dance at my son’s wedding in 3 weeks. I highly recommend Augie for his talent and personality! I’m looking forward to the next few lessons!

Just finished our first lesson, immediately booked the second. Augie was friendly and super easy to work with. He did not rush the lesson and went over the allotted time, which was nice since we aren’t the best dancers. Augie had simple easy to follow instructions that made us feel really good throughout the lesson by the end of the first lesson we definitely feel more confident and are looking forward to our next lesson!!

I booked Augie as a surprise birthday gift for my fiancé. The plan was to learn a few moves and then go dancing at Billy Bob's afterwards. It all went well! He was great, learned about our backgrounds in dance, felt things out to determine what we should learn in this first meeting and dove right in. We loved his teaching style and accessibility, and it was so easy to book him. We're definitely going to take more classes from him! Thank you, Augie!

Augie is a fantastic dance instructor. It’s been years since I danced and I felt so comfortable from the beginning of our lesson. I actually picked up a lot today and plan to go back a minimum of 8 more times. Augie was great at keeping me calm and instep, gave me some things to work on at home, I look so forward to my next lesson! I highly recommend him to anyone starting or advanced! You will not be disappointed!!!
