    I've taken both group rueda and partner classes from Rob, and consider him a great teacher. In addition to being prompt, organized and professional, he knows his stuff. He's especially great at breaking down and simplifying the lead and follow to smooth out our dancing. I have no idea how he remembers all the moves he knows, or even more amazing, how he can start mid-move to explain a point of nuance, or answer a question. I recommend his classes to anyone wanting to improve their dancing.

    Rob's classes are amazing. He is a very patient instructor and is very willing to go over moves as many times as you need to make sure everyone has the moves down. He keeps each class challenging so that you are always learning something new. He is also detail oriented and will go through moves slowly to improve footwork and styling techniques. His style of teaching is very easy to follow, and gives very clear directions when it comes to ways to improve your steps. The atmosphere of the class is very relaxed and fun! I would definitely reccomend his classes!!
