Comment:

AMAZING teacher!! He goes back to the basics in the lower levels, which can be kind of annoying at the time, but it helped me improve dramatically. In the higher levels his class is very technique driven. He wants the best for all his students and is hilarious when you chat with him outside of class.

He definitely got us back to basics. However he never finished a ballet class fully ever. Maybe if he didn't talk so much we would. He is a very interesting person to talk to outside of class.

I absolutely loved him and he is my favorite teacher in the department! some think that he is a bit strange, but i disagree. He is the sweetest and most caring teacher in the department by far and he actually cares about making you the best dancer you can be :)

He is such a great teacher! I loved his class, the simple combinations made me focus on improving my technique alot. My extension got much higher in his class after one term as well. He is a strange guy but grows on you after a while.

Comment:

Definitely a teacher who has faith in his students, sometimes to the extreme ("You are all so close to being NYCB material...right). I'm not a big fan of his class. A lot of dancers complain of hip problems after or while taking his class.

Comment:

This professor would, and does, bend over backwards for his students. He shows nothing but the utmost pride in the accomplishments of his students, no matter how small. This teacher is always the first to offer help outside of the studio/classroom.

I am still trying to figure out how this man got a job in the department. He has no degree, or basis for his teaching. Needs to learn how to teach a dance class.
