Even more than performing, Larry loves to teach!! (He loves to choreograph, too, and that comes through in
his teaching. Students are not expected to endure endless repetitions of the same steps!)  He is an
enthusiastic, dedicated teacher, who exites and motivates his students.   Larry enjoys teaching at the Long
Beach Community Center in its large gym.  He encourages everyone who loves to dance--or thinks they might--
to come and join his classes--The only criteria is that you want to learn to DANCE!
