Testimonials

​After trying to get back into dance for several years as an adult I feel so lucky to have found Genie! His positivity is infectious and his complete and utter love for dance is inspiring. He challenges you and changes you; the way you move, the way you feel and why you wanted to bust a move in the first place! His classes quickly become a community and it's completely due to him. Anyone can teach you how to dance, I believe that Genie teaches you how to love dance again..

—Love dance again

​Genie is a great dance teacher but more importantly he makes everyone feel included and capable of dancing. I leave every class feeling happier and more relaxed.
