They love it!\r\rPhil started dancing by learning Salsa and he got addicted to dance, moving on to bachata and kizomba, as well as other styles such as zouk. He was obsessed with perfecting the art of movement, with a sharp technical mind and a great enthusiasm for helping others around him grow as dancers.\r\rInitially, Phil started as a student on the dance scene, and got into teaching when other students asked for lessons. His passion for dance is infectious and you can clearly see that in his classes.\r\rMeredith is originally from Seattle and has more than a decade of experience on the high calibre dance scene in the big city. She started training in Ballet and you can see this, with the style, grace and elegance she brings to her dancing. Her ladies styling is well sought after and something the Belfast dance scene is craving.\r\rThey hope to see you join the classes and they want to help grow the dance scene in Belfast, and bring in some fresh dancers, so that everyone can experience, benefit and enjoy themselves through the gift of dance." } ] } ] ```
