Teaching is his life's true passion, and his goal is to get everyone out on the dance floor! He has 50 years of experience across all dance styles, and it completely shows in his patient, highly effective method. We are currently working on the country two-step, and we can't wait to try country swing once we get this ingrained! The private personal training setting was exactly what we needed to build our skills and feel completely confident before dancing in front of others. His rates are more than fair, for this level of elite instruction! You cannot beat it. Plus, Laurence sets up community dances at local venues so we can take what we've learned and practice in the real world. It is the perfect blend of fun, skill-building, exercise and preparation for social events!

We have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this amazing dance studio and look forward to watching our daughter grow up here. If you a debating bringing your child here, I would recommend doing the free class they offer for first time guests.

I will continue to say that. However, it is not my job to stroke your ego. I actually enjoyed your classes and looked forward to going I was going to stop for a bit until my body got over the shock it was in. I don't know how to use zelle or any of that kind of stuff, so I asked my daughter to do that for me. Emily's partner was going to pay for any classes she wanted or the 2 of them wanted together. Please remove my "glowing" review from your website. You helped me feel empowered and gave me the wherewithal to quit smoking cigarettes and for that, I thank you. If you would have talked to me just a little bit more instead of judging me and making assumptions, I was terrified that I was out of remission. I'm pretty sad things turned out the way they did, but I'm happy I'm not being used anymore. It's pretty sad that when one decides to live a healthier lifestyle, the support just isn't there. After using nicotine in cigarettes and vape, I honestly thought my coach would support me. I can't say I wasn't warned. At first, the classes were fun, and I enjoyed time with my daughter. We did take classes together. I acknowledge that, but we also wanted classes separately, and as you will see by these pictures, that was pretty frowned upon. Eventually, as younger people do, my daughter advanced a bit quicker, and I wanted my own classes, as did she. I lost quite a bit of strength during that positive lifestyle change. I thought I could build that up quicker on my own. Trish suggested that I do open pole, which would bring her more money. I had thought about that, and my daughter was dressed to take over if things got tough for me, but by the time I sent these messages and hadn't had any instruction for 11 days and it was being suggested that I wait 19 days, I started to figure out that perhaps I was just the purse strings and taxi driver for my daughter. I'm happy I finally realized that. It was actually my daughter's partner who asked me to write a message because he felt that something wasn't right here. I'll be forever grateful for him. I hope she quits changing her contracts because the one I have a copy of says much different. As far as knowledge, I wouldn't recommend her. I bought a home pole, and with one phone call, I was told that home poles have a different feel. Trish told me that the different feelings from home and studio pole were caused because my severely disabled son licks his palms, and perhaps I wasn't cleaning it well enough. That answer in and of itself shows an extreme lack of professionalism.

It's funny how your hand was out for money, for someone who didn't wish for us to return to your…read morestudio. As for your comment regarding how you gave countless suggestions of other dance studios, be it as it may, I got assaulted in the same complex as your studio currently resides in, as you know. I didn't wish to return to the complex, but I came back because I thought you were my friend, and I loved the way you taught, but as the saying goes true friends stab you in the front and you certainly did not do that be it as you lied. My question to you now is how did you know that I did not wish to continue despite what happened and my mother wish to quit? I do have my own money separate from my mother. How did you know that me and my partner didn't reconcile and want to take classes together? I guess we will never know. I guess my mother and I are one of the same. I would also like to know what your numerous problems with us were? To sum this review up (so it doesn't get removed), classes started well. The instructors seemed nice, but it quickly soured. Of course, this will be another "cute" review, but as a parting goodbye, I would like to inform you that you know nothing about me. I'm glad my partner and I will not be attending any of your classes, and I hope you have the day you deserve. ETA review from Google: ETA: Yes, I do have my own voice. I was flabbergasted by the text message you sent my mother.I never thought you were that kind of person. My mother doesn't know how to use Zelle or Paypal so she had me send her payment. As for my partner, I never brought him up because I didn't think it mattered since at the time we were fighting, I didn't know if he wanted to try a class, but surprise surprise he did, after my glowing recommendation. Here you want some more truth, let me add. I enjoyed learning in heels, I liked Reanna's class, and I thought your silk was pretty. I grew unsatisfied because every class started to feel the same and I couldn't master certain moves after months of practice at home. I will not be recommending you to my friends anymore. I wish you all the luck.

I felt compelled to leave this review about my incredible Acting Coach: Aubyn Philabaum. Sometimes…read morethere are people in your life that are so good, bring so much value and care so deeply, your work and Life changes because of them. My enormous great good fortune is my Acting Coach Aubyn Philabaum. Aubyn is a Yale trained actor who began coaching acting, auditioning and career mentoring in LA. When auditioning in person transitioned to mostly remote, Aubyn was coaching through zoom, ensuring we were performing the deepest on-camera work and had the most technically impeccable audition tapes to send in. No audition opportunity was left to chance. She took such a fulsome interest in every aspect of each student. A personal mentor: From assessing where they were in their acting to what needed to be done to make an audition great, to getting auditions on camera to turn in, to deepening the work both in person and for camera, to assessing career choices and goals, marketing, head shots...she is a full Mentor. Recently, as I prepared to perform a solo show of 90 minutes, I hired Aubyn to guide me from unmemorized to last performance. Her devotion to my work, the script, my well-being, my voice and body work, my emotional life within the play was consummate. Aubyn is an empath. So there was no moment we passed by without her stopping to help me go deeper inside myself to bring forward the truest experience. Aubyn is a brilliant coach who works gently and lovingly but with passion to get the best work out of her students. She is invested in each of her student's growth and success. Her love of acting permeates everything she does. And this innate calling takes her actors to the truth of their work. I wish I had known her when I first came into the acting world. To this day, I wonder if my career would have blossomed had I had her by my side. But I have her now, and as my career takes a different turn, I know I'll never be without her by my side if I'm able. I know she works remote for many but she's relocated to Tucson and opened an Acting School there, so actors in Arizona are soon to find out what secret magic they now have next door. Thank you Aubyn. I look forward to working with you as long as you're coaching.
