Very knowledgeable and patient teacher!

We had some problems and we were 45 minutes late, Dennis graciously took us on and gave us the full hour of the lesson. He was very patient, knowledgeable, logical, and helpful. He immediately assessed my sons level and showed him all the moves in accordance to his level. Thank you!
