  • My husband and I have taken ballroom lessons from Justin for 2 years. We feel that he is very professional and knowledgeable as a dance instructor. He also makes it fun to learn ballroom dancing.

    Angi

  • Justin is a wonderful teacher with an amazing ability to lead at exactly the level you need him to. He's got a knack for explaining a dance, a move, or a concept in an easy to understand manner and for helping you apply it to your dancing. My dancing improved leaps and bounds when I began lessons with him.

He's an amazing dancer and he knows how to share his knowledge with even the most basic beginner. He breaks things down into manageable chunks so we always feel successful. His positivity truly makes dance lessons a joy! If you take lessons from Justin, you will learn a lot and enjoy the process. I highly recommend Justin!

    Lisa

  • I have been dancing with Justin for 6 years and under his instruction I have gone from a person with 2 left feet to a senior bronze dancer. He is very patient, kind, and so personable. He makes dancing fun, no matter how frustrated you may get. He taught me things I never thought I could do. His experience and knowledge as a top tier dancer enhance the experience. He is one of the best!!!

    Penny

  • Justin is an extremely talented dance instructor. I‘ve been working with him for about a year. He has an uncanny way of sensing just what will put a student or couple at ease so they can relax and enjoy learning to dance, regardless of level or experience. Whether you have 2 left feet or have been dancing for years, I guarantee you’ll enjoy your time dancing with Justin, and will want to make dance a part of your life.
