Corbin has the rare quality of making dancing understandable to those who have felt unable to learn in the past. He explains so naturally while enabling his student to feel relaxed and realize anything is possible to learn. Very productive and enjoyable lessons! Northern Colorado is fortunate to have such a high quality instructor here. I would love to watch him dance and compete!!

I am learning from Corbin not just to follow a man's lead but to be an active member of the dance partnership. I have been studying with Corbin for two years, and I look forward to continued learning and growth in my dancing from Corbin!

Corbin can find multiple ways of presenting new material to you until you "get" it. He is fun, patient and unflappable. Whether you want to compete in Ballroom dance, or brush up some Club dances for socializing, or learn a custom dance routine for your wedding, Corbin will make you shine.

Corbin and I have been dancing together for 3 years. I am currently competing with him as one of his pro am students. He is encouraging, fun to work with, and loves to teach people how to dance. He continually works to improve his expertise as a teacher and as a dancer. His talent and charisma is evident on the dance floor. He is always… supportive and working to help me reach my goals and potential as a ballroom dancer. If you are interested in trying ballroom dancing, whether a couple or solo, contact Corbin for a lesson or a package of lessons. You will have a wonderful experience.
