From Matt Hernandez: “I started Matt Hernandez Dance Co. with one central concept in mind - SOCIAL DANCING. I want to build & empower students to take their first steps into learning such an elegant & structured dance. Social dancing is being more concerned with ‘participation’ rather than ‘performance’ and ultimately boils down to that connection between leader and follower.”
