Best in the area in their craft.
Clement took me in 12 years ago, a 30 year old who never danced before, and helped me become a competitive dancer I am today. During this time,
I have seen him work with many students of all ages and different dance goals, yet he always been very professional, fun, let each feel great about themselves, and helped them be their best on the dance floor.
He is my teacher in the studio, partner on the dance floor and a friend in life. ~I'm looking forward to see what future brings.
