Custom Choreography for Brian Deaton

Here you will find all of the tools for putting together your first dance! We suggest learning the individual steps first, then using the breakdown video to piece the moves together section by section. Begin practicing without music, then incorporate music as you get more comfortable with the steps. The written instructions for your dance are at the bottom of this page for easy reviewing. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@duetdancestudio.com. Have fun dancing!
