Acencio is the man! If he can teach a never-danced-before 51-year-old Baptist pastor with a partially paralyzed foot how to dance at his daughter's wedding, Acencio can teach you!

Acencio was very accommodating to our needs. He helped us design and practice a first dance for our wedding in about 2 weeks. We had no dance experience going into it but we felt comfortable after our lessons. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks!
