"Scott Lazarov prepared me for my first showcase in 2002 with the execution of a Salsa dance. Since that day I walk and move with greater poise and awareness of my body and have an even greater positive image of myself."
-- Teddy Patterson

A few tips to help you get it right...
- Start four to six months early.
This allows more time to practice together and build knowledge and confidence, especially if you are a newcomer. - Bring a recording of your special song.
We'll work on it until you develop complete familiarity with it. We either help you get comfortable improvising, or choreograph a special routine for your big day. - Coordinate your dance with your videographer.
You will get the best coverage of your dance, and the ability to watch it for years to come. If need be, we will refer you to top-notch artists and technicians in your area. When you watch the video you will be amazed at the difference your dance lessons made.
