AGE: 17 Bronze Champion training Silver
“I have studied under Marcus for three yrs now. I would have to say that I am very grateful to have such an amazing dance teacher. His teaching methods are not just professional, but they are relatable and understandable. Everyone are always looking for the one on one level with a teacher and I am fortunate to get that. Marcus not only emphasizes how amazing and important dance is, but he also teaches how fun it can be. Marcus has been able to clear my mind and focus on dance and also try to enjoy the sport. If I had more experience I would definitely wanted Marcus to be my dance partner! He is very talented, and I admire him.”
