I have been entertaining the Houston community with Dance, since 1986, when I belonged to the Montrose Country Cloggers. I am one of the founding members of Southern Country Houston, and have been a member since 1991. I have been an instructor for Southern Country Houston since 1992, and I am, presently, on the Southern Country Houston exhibition dance team. Originally from Groves, TX, I now reside in Houston with my partner of 19 1/2 years, Carol Martinez. I am a graduate of the University of Houston. My hobbies include dancing, fishing, casinos, spending time with family and friends.

Dance Lessons with SoCoHo
We offer free dance lessons on Thursday evening at the Brazos River Bottom (the BRB) at 2400 Brazos St in Houston. Join us from 8-10:30PM. You don't need a partner—just a good attitude!
We usually teach a line dance during the first hour and a couples' dance during the second hour. For the couples' dances, we begin with the basics on the first Thursday of the month: body positioning, frame, basic technique and basic steps. As the month progresses, we add on to the basic steps and by the end of the month, you have a nice dance pattern to bring to the floor the next time you go out dancing.
