BRIAN LAVELLE

​    
Brian has been putting on his dancing shoes since the age of 9, with a background in jazz, tap, and ballet. After attending the prestigious Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts, he performed in several notable theater productions, including "A Chorus Line," "West Side Story," "THE WILDEST!!!”, and over 20 Equity Theatre productions

.



Brian then moved from Los Angeles to sunny Arizona to work and train with 12-time world rhythm champions Bob Powers and Julia Gorchacova. With an extensive teaching background and competitive record, Brian has collected many titles, from "Rising Star Champion” to "American Pro-Rhythm 1st Place National Champion.”

Although he brings some serious skill to what he does, he‘s also beloved by his students for his easygoing, fun attitude and is known to crack a joke (or two) during lessons.
