Larry teaches tap, jazz, lyrical, lcaps and turns, recreational hip hop, acting and martial arts. His unique and motivational style of teaching has produced many dancers who have gone on the dance professionally and pursue teaching careers of their own.

Larry currently teaches lyrical, jazz and intermediate/advanced tap to teens and adults at Ballerinas. He has partnered fellow faculty member’s in Markitenka, Paquita and Cinderella. His choreography for our two annual shows has been challenging and beautiful. We look forward to his contribution for this year!
