Dance with "Gus" your Teacher and Trainer Testimonial We met Gus as our instructor for a charity dance competition. Both of us had always had a passion for dance but to this point had never taken the giant leap in to the dance world. Gus gave us a big shove. Gus was very patient and adjusted his schedule to meet ours. He always stayed late and worked diligently to ensure we had the support required for us to be successful. He was involved with all details from helping with our costumes to the sound and lighting arrangements at the event. Gus made extra efforts the day of the competition to ensure that his teams were prepared and was right there with us up to the moment the music started. Gus’s teaching methods are proven and enjoyable. Gus was always available for questions and his special delivery videos were very much appreciated. He is technically advanced and his use of video as a teaching tool was invaluable. Gus would bring his equipment to our practice locations as required. Hours seem like minutes and after the competition was over, we both agreed that we would continue our lessons with Gus because we missed his humor and character. We have continued to enjoy every moment with Gus. Pete Reintjes & Victoria Loucks London Ontario Testimonial When both myself and a co-worker were asked to compete in a charity dancing event, one that resembled the show dancing with the stars we didn’t know what we were getting into. Both Heather and I were complete amateurs with absolutely no experience; we were nervous and truly concerned about making fools of ourselves. We were assigned to have Gus Braun as our teacher and I can tell you from the first moment we meet, Gus made our experience a blast. Gus is extremely professional with hand full charm and let me tell you he knows his stuff. He is a gentleman who strives to bring out the best in his students yet always remind them that dance is fun and should be the top priority. I can tell you personally that I went into this with some skepticism, but now truly look forward to each and every lesson. If you looking for some fun, lessons and someone to show you how to dance, then the only thing I can say is that you should dance with Gus!!

Testimonial When we approached Gus for our wedding dance lessons,
there was only 6 weeks left until our wedding and neither of us had any
dancing experience. With the utmost skill and professionalism, Gus
choreographed a beautiful routine to the song of our choice. We were worried
we might not be able to learn the routine in such a short time, but with
only few hours of lessons (and a bit of practice!) we were very confident
about our dance on our wedding day. When the time came, we executed it
perfectly, and the crowd went wild!
When I met Goetz I had been dancing for some time and had taken International style ballroom dance lessons from several instructors. I attended a few group classes led by Goetz and immediately knew he was an experienced and totally committed teacher. I signed up for private hours and was delighted to have the opportunity to learn from a master! Goetz’s technique is flawless and he has the ability to convey information in a clear and easy-to-understand way. In addition to reinforcing the basic and fundamental principles of good dancing, over a three-year period, Goetz gradually and effectively taught me the International syllabus and I was dancing at the “Gold” standard level! I participated in several pro-am competitions with Goetz and earned a number of first places in the standard dances (waltz, foxtrot, tango, quickstep, Viennese waltz). Goetz is a brilliant instructor who holds many professional dance designations and has an abundance of experience and expertise in International style ballroom dancing. His training and understanding of body mechanics, correct footwork, movement, musicality and dance technique are unparalleled. Any serious dance student who wishes to be a top dancer will not easily find an instructor with his qualifications, depth of knowledge and training. Last, and most important, Goetz has an outstanding personality and not only teaches one to dance but makes it an extraordinarily fun and enjoyable past-time/hobby!!! Elma Pena Miami Florida
Testimonial From August to December 2006, Professor Goetz Braun served as the first Head Instructor of Miami Ballroom, the University of Miami’s Latin and Ballroom Dance Club in Miami, FL, USA. We were so fortunate to have Goetz (or “Gus,” as his students affectionately called him), on our team as we began building the foundation for a ballroom dance program at UM. With over 30 years of experience in choreography, competition, and instruction, Goetz developed a three-month curriculum for beginner students in Latin and Ballroom dance. The University of Miami now uses this curriculum as a foundation to teach over 70 students, beginners to advance, every semester. Goetz was also instrumental in establishing a competitive branch of Miami Ballroom which now represents the University of Miami in intercollegiate competitions. Goetz has a tremendous breadth of knowledge about ballroom dancing, including technique, history, and etiquette. But more importantly, he is able to effectively communicate that knowledge to his students by providing a positive and enjoyable learning environment. Goetz was responsible for teaching a group of over 50 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the community every week, who now serve as a testament to Goetz’s ability to teach a broad age range and appeal to the sensibilities of many different types of people. Goetz was the consummate professional, always arriving early to assist students and offering his help any way that he could. Having hired five different instructors in just three years, I know that dance teachers like Goetz are not easily found – those who are reliable, effective, and passionate about teaching. Goetz was a pleasure to work with and any University would be fortunate to have him on their teaching staff. Alex Suarez-Mondshein Founder and President, Miami Ballroom, University of Miami
