Don Baarns

Musicality and Dance insights from someone widely known as the "World's Least Likely Dance Instructor."

Don Baarns was a professional musician in his 20's, studying and working with some of the most recorded musicians in Los Angeles. Watching tens of thousands of dancers over the years while performing music, he often said, "Someday I'd like to dance too, that seems like fun." It took him into his mid 40's to start that pursuit, and his light hearted, fun, self-conscious, real world journey into dancing will benefit your quest greatly.

Musicians and dancers follow an amazingly parallel improvement path. Don started teaching private drum lessons around 1977 and has decades of teaching and music experience. From his beginning dance lessons, Don knew he would someday teach this art too, as he quickly recognized the similarities among elite dancers and musicians. Today, he passes that wisdom along to thousands of dancers in workshops, private lessons, his very popular dance blog, "Music4Dancers" YouTube video series. He is now writing books too.

He specializes in teaching novice and professional dancers about musicality, growing as a dancer, and coaches other instructors in the art and science of teaching. Professional dancers seek him out for his musicality training and insights for a stronger connection between the music and movements.
