He struggled to learn dance so he simplified the process and that's reflected in how he teaches. He took his first beginners' class in 1984. Since 1996 he has trained under Skippy Blair, a Swing Dance Hall of Fame member, and who is considered by many the teacher of teachers. He's now a GSDTA certified dance instructor.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 11, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710336758067,"sku":"9780930251444","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/NUxzVUJBaTZZTWxoa1o4dFBJaWt6UT09.webp?v=1763488932","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/every-mans-survival-guide-to-ballroom-dancing-ace-your-wedding-dance-and-keep-cool-on-a-cruise-at-a-formal-and-in-dance-classes-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
