While working for Fred Astaire Dance Studio Andrey was acknowledged as a top teacher and received the Award for Outstanding Performance in the advance department of teaching. In 2006, he started his own dance studio ASDANCECONNECTION in Thornwood, NY and Manhattan, offering private lessons to individuals, couples and competitive dancers.Andrey believes that learning to dance should be fun and STRESS FREE. He brings humor, respect and innovative teaching techniques to put students at ease. He is generous with positive encouragement so students can be excited about their progress. Each lesson begins with instructions in the basic steps, then moves to basic turns followed by intermediate combinations, and finally more complex variations. Andrey begins each lesson by demonstrating the move or the entire combination of up to twelve elements to his student. Then he breaks it down into parts. The student repeats every move slowly without any music, and afterwards practices to the rhythm of the music. It's easy to see that students easily master the dances, gain confidence and have the time of their lives!
