About ADAM
I come from a long line of dancers, musicians, singers, performers and artists of all kinds, including wing-walkers, dance instructors, and music directors. A connection to music is as intrinsic to me as breathing. Teaching is simply a natural extension of that. While I specialize in virtually all of the American Smooth/Rhythm dances for both social and performance dancing, I can also get you off the ground in International Latin and Argentine Tango.
I have studied dancing at studios in the Sacramento area for more than a dozen years, as well as other studios throughout the US, and have been teaching exclusively at The Ballroom of Sacramento since early 2015.

I believe that by giving students a solid foundation of how to lead and how to follow, as well as a basic understanding of the characteristics of each dance, there is no limit to where they can go with their dancing. My goal is to move a student from beginning to advanced as quickly as possible, providing all the building blocks they need to develop their skills - all while having fun!
I work with the following:
- Private lessons for individual students or couples for general dancing or performance dancing.
- Wedding dances. This can be the bride and groom first dance, the father-daughter dance, or the mother-son dance.
- Private group classes: This can be for bachelorette or other parties, family reunions, receptions, or even team building in the workplace.
I teach Bronze to Silver (beginning/intermediate to intermediate/advanced) level in the following dances: Foxtrot, Waltz, American Tango, American Bolero, Brazilian Bolero, Rumba, Cha Cha, Merengue, Salsa, Night Club Two-Step, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Hustle, East Coast Swing, and West Coast Swing, as well as Samba and the Samba Line.
The first thing you should know is that you do not need a dance partner to learn how to dance. Dance studios typically have group classes and many of the students are there without a partner. Also, during group classes students are usually rotated every couple of minutes, so you are dancing with different partners anyway. This is good because you get to experience dancing with different people, which means you will learn to be better at leading (or, for the ladies, at following.) If you are taking private lessons, your instructor will be your partner.
Once you reach a more advanced level, having a practice partner can be very helpful.
The best way to get started is to take some group classes.
If you really want to get very far in your dancing, you will need to take private lessons. That is where you will get your individualized attention; you can learn at YOUR speed, and really get your technique dialed in. Dancing well requires the ability to lead and follow; how well one can lead or follow is directly proportional to their level of technique. Whether you want to dance socially or competitively, you will need to develop your ability to lead and follow -- and that is technique. Contact me and we can discuss the best path for you to take.
Just as every student is different and unique, no two instructors are alike. Of course, it is important to choose an instructor who is proficient in the dance(s) you wish to learn. However, it is equally important to find an instructor that explains things in a way that is easy for you to understand. If you try one instructor and you don't click, try another one. Or try attending their group classes first to get a feel for their instructional style and choose the one that suits you best. Of course, the more experienced the instructor, the better they will be at communicating with a wider range of students. More experienced instructors also tend to have higher rates. As your dancing becomes more advanced, you will need a better and better instructor. Be sure to discuss both your long and short term dancing goals with your instructor to make sure you are both on the same page and to establish expectations for both of you.
