Hi Edwin:
I think that Tom Johnson on the East Coast would be lucky to have you as a workshop/private instructor. I just hope you come back because we love you out here too!
I didn't personally take the workshop you did at Next Gen, but I do know that enough people enjoyed it that Ruth (our dance committee chair) specifically put you on the list to come back for this year. That says something!
My own private lesson with you was amazing. I felt that you gave me really good, detailed techniques and your explanations were down-to-earth and easy to understand. If something eluded me, I really appreciated that you had no problem stopping and explaining it in another way. In short, I came out of that lesson really excited about dancing and applying what I had learned on the floor. I would recommend you to anyone, and in fact, I already have to a few people!
You're welcome to use my response as a reference, and if Mr. Johnson wants any further information or reference, he's more than welcome to email me at [email withheld].
Warm regards,
Debbie
