I met Gary Weidenmoyer briefly years ago when he taught a Bolero group class at a dance organized by the local chapter of USA Dance. I was impressed with the steps he taught and found out later that he had danced on Broadway in his younger days.
I had finished building myself a home studio just before Covid 19 broke out. Decided life is short and I should start to indulge myself by engaging a PRO Dance Instructor to teach me at my home.
I had mentioned to Gary at the end of our initial private lesson on June 25, 2020 that I have danced only socially and have never showcased before. I told him however that I would now like to learn a routine or two of the different dances now that he is my Dance Instructor.
2nd Lesson - July 9, 2020 Gary really challenged me right from the start by teaching me his GEM routine which appeared very difficult initially. By the end of the hour however, I was able to dance it, albeit, without the smoothness and styling. I also learned how to dance the Jump Ronde, Slip Pivot, Turning Lock, Paddle Turn and Dip. | February 20, 2021 Margaret enjoying herself at the first hosted dance of the new year at her home studio.
