Dance Instructor
"Breakdancing teaches you two things: how to defy gravity and how to laugh when gravity wins."
After twenty-two years, Mr. Jim feels like he is very close to getting the hang of teaching. Jim has travelled and trained all over the country including living in Los Angeles and Colorado Springs for two years each. At Dance House, Mr. Jim runs the Youth and Adult competitive Breaking program as well as overseeing the Recreational Breaking program - it’s great exercise! His students are racking up many accomplishments including making it to the top 8 at Harvard University’s Intercollegiate competition known as BreakEazy. Another of Mister Jim’s students made it to the top 8 of the Pro Breaking Tour’s competition in New York City- you can check it out here on Youtube; Mr. Jim’s student is in the red, white and blue.
"I always tell my students - if you fall, make it part of the routine. Breakdancing is 10% skill, 90% swagger... and maybe a little bit of not caring that your mom is watching."

At Dance House Productions, Mr. Jim teaches the Breaking and Conditioning classes, and is known for his funny, relatable teaching style - injecting humor and every-day humanity along with discipline and training. He believes dancing should be as fun as it is challenging.
I believe breakdancing is about more than just moves - it's about mindset. In my classes, I encourage students to take risks, fall down, and get back up with a smile. I aim to create an atmosphere where every dancer feels free to express themselves, push their limits, and have a blast doing it. Technique and strength matter, but confidence and fun are what bring it all to life.
