STUDENT's REVIEWS

 THERE is no better review than that of a happy student

So here are a few selected comments from people who took online lessons:

"I had the pleasure to follow quite some online lessons from Vincent on both general techniques, ballet and even an odd Highland/Irish class. In contrast with my own online ballet classes, Vincent's were much more tailored to a living room situation and therefore I enjoyed them much more. They were fun, bubbly and accessible for all skill levels. Even as an experienced dancer, there was never a dull moment and I really enjoyed his classes and could work on my technique to my own level. He really knows his dances and the biomechanics of a dancing body, and is able to convey this knowledge to his students. even in a virtual setting. The exercises were well thought out. If you have a chance, grab a class, you'll certainly learn something new or get a new perspective on things." Anke Veens, NL

"Being a daughter of a choreographer I practically grew up in a dance class, and having studied in a ballet school, I have experienced quite a few dance teachers. And with all my experience, I have to say, Vincent is one of the best dance teachers I have ever had. And I am indeed a very discerning dance student who is known to leave dance schools because of teaching standards not being up to scratch.

Vincent is super-professional in so many respects; he is like a walking encyclopedia of dance and music, their history and technicalities; he knows how to motivate his students and correct them in a gentle non-threatening way – a very rare quality for a dance teacher; he also knows the anatomy of human body and explains every difficult dance move through our anatomy, after which it is so easy to feel how to do the move correctly and safely for your body.

The huge advantage of his classes over lessons in 'traditional' (but usually less professional) ( Irish and Scottish Highland) folk dance schools is that even his folk dance sessions are structured as a classical ballet class, with a proper warm up at the beginning, moves getting progressively more difficult through the class and good stretching at the end of each session, which is extremely important for our muscles and ligaments, but rarely done in traditional folk dance schools (hence so many cases of injuries in those schools).

Vincent's classes are also great fun as he finds really imaginative, creative and often funny ways to describe every move, it engages his students' imagination and helps connect the body and creative mind, which is so important for good artistic performance.

I would recommend Vincent's classes to anyone looking for safe and really high standard dance lessons, as teachers with this level of professionalism are very rare gems and his students should consider themselves extremely lucky to have him as their dance mentor." Natalie Surina, IRL

"I am so thankful for the existence of internet connection and wonderful dance teachers who are willing to give lessons in a situation when meeting face to face is not possible! Thanks to Vincent, we were able to get useful, comprehensive and uplifting dance education even in times when we were barely able to leave our homes. Not only this was a major mood booster, it was also great training! We went through a lot of useful exercises that made us feel better about ourselves, improved our general dancing skills and in addition, they were great fun. If you get a chance to take part in any of Vincent's online dance classes, don't miss out. As a bonus, you will be able to share the experience with other dancers, who will be online at the same time as you." Anna Ward, CZ
