"Brian has a very thorough yet gentle method of teaching ensuring that the basics are right to give a strong foundation to the movements." Clare F.
"I like Brian's detailed methodical approach, he really goes right into the heart of the movements to a depth that awakens areas you hardly knew existed. This serious undertaking of the work is coupled with a light-hearted attitude which makes everyone feel valued regardless of their aptitude. There is no competitiveness or one-upmanship. Long may he continue." Toby M.
"Brian is very patient, non-judgemental as well as using humour to good effect. We have hugely benefited from his classes." Will F.

You always work at your own level, the lessons only move at the pace of the people in the class. The success is in the system, just become quietly committed, turn up and practice - that's it.
