Pittsburgh, so we have invited him back on a quasi-regular basis. Look for

workshops each time, one for newer dancers, and one for more experienced
dancers. </FONT></DIV>

join together for small group (semi-private) one-hour classes. This allows
him to give personalized instruction on topics of your choice, and offers you a
way to learn something that can be practiced with others on an ongoing
basis. </FONT></DIV>
