Patrick has been teaching dancing throughout the South Shore area since 1992. He started his training and teaching in dance studios in Norwood, Hanover, and Boston. His training was received from a number of American and international professionals, competitors, and world champions. Many people ask him how he got into dancing or how he learned to dance. He tells them that it was much like Patrick Swayze's character in Dirty Dancing; they both answered advertisements for "dance instructors wanted, willing to train."

Today, Patrick shares with his students the joy, confidence and positive self-esteem that dancing has brought to him. Dance has been a journey that has introduced him to many wonderful and interesting people over the years. Patrick hopes to meet you soon so that you can enjoy everything that dancing has to offer!
