Having taught beginning dance for so long & not danced socially, my technique and execution were outdated and sloppy. Philip helps bring me back into the 21st century! I feel better about what I am doing on the dance floor now.
-- James Duane of Cottonwood-- In group lessons, teachers mostly teach new dance moves. We can also learn new steps from DVDs. The advantage of a private lesson with Philip is that he focuses on fundamental principles that carry over to all dance styles. For example, he is helping me concentrate on taking small even steps under my body. He gives me feedback that a social dance partner would not, such as I was gripping his thumb. I can really feel the difference in my dancing with more control and ability to follow.

Philip is an excellent dance instructor. He is talented, personable, and professional. We thoroughly enjoy his classes. -- Jim & Theresa of Chico -- | We really needed extra help for our wedding. Philip was a great teacher. He was very patient. He explained the moves and made them very easy to learn. Good patience and great explanations. I watched us get better with each lesson. We recommend Philip. -- Eric & Melissa W. of Chico -- Philip was recommended by friends as the best professional dance instructor to take private lessons from. I was a beginner dancer and not getting anywhere in group lessons with other instructors. Philip emphasizes the importance of the "basics" in dance. He is patient, yet requiring in my lessons. He gives me positive reinforcement, uses humor among his teaching techniques and always makes me work at becoming a better dancer. I enjoy his style of teaching - it works! -- Romona of Redding -- |
