Dave is awesome patient, experienced, expert, and fun. He knows how to break things down to make it easy to learn. My wife says he is a great leader and fun to dance with,Patient, and easy going. She asks him to dance and he always says yes. We took several of his classes and enjoyed them. We will be taking more this winter. We are going to the Shelton elks to take his April 28 FOXTROT CLASS Z AND MAY 12 SWING ROCK CLASS, AND THE WALTZ CLASS MAY 26. WE WILL MISS HIS East COAST SWING CLASS ON June 9 and Karens triple jitterbug class but we will be BACK FOR HIS COUNTRY WESTERN 2 West coast swing and June 28 Salsa cha cha class. Maybe we can go in one of his cruises someday?
