More About Tim Gregory...

TIM GREGORY

Owner/Instructor

Hi! I’m Tim. Once upon a time I attended my very first dance lesson to impress a girl. At the time, I felt like dancing wasn't "my thing" and that any guys who did dance, were not masculine ones. I was young, ignorant and totally wrong. To my surprise, I caught the dancing bug!

Took lessons at the acclaimed Arthur Murray’s studio in San Diego for three years.
Became a certified dance instructor in 2004.
Taught lessons in California and Arizona for 4 years.

Fast forward through a stint with the Navy, several moves and a growing posse of pets. (4 cats and 2 dogs.) I had a degree in computer networking but really wasn’t passionate about it. That’s when I decided to go back to teaching dance full time. I opened Manhattan’s only Ballroom Dance School in 2016.

Even if you think you can’t dance, I believe in you. Walking through the door is the hardest step. The rest is up to me.
