Testimonials

"The workshops covered areas we felt that we needed to work on. Anything too complex was broken down to the simplest form in order to build or work from that. Overall I loved the structure of the workshops. They were well thought of." Grace Njogu - Detroit, MI

"I have taken 3 of Charles' workshops in the past week. I wanted to say that I am truly amazed in his ability to take a big concept and break it down in a very dance digest-able way, while making the class fun, productive and well paced at the same time.

I took it as a lead and had a lot of lightbulb moments. I feel I finally have a structure to work on and build off of to create new moves. He also gave solo exercises that I can practice with. I also heard someone saying that they finally understood how to lead hooks just over one session.

The material taught in one festival workshop had so much value, that it was worth multiple sequences of classes. I also really appreciated Charles' care and enthusiasm for students' dance growth. Thank you for pouring your heart into it! " Olesya Brizhak - Vancouver, BC

"All the videos and workshops I have collected made sense after attending the Neokiz weekender. You not only simplify the moves in a way that is easy to comprehend but also added a unique flair and style to each workshop. I decided to take my first private lesson and was impressed by your energy and meticulous attention to detail." Yi Chen - Roanoke, VA
