Experienced tutor in Dance in San Jose, Sean offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I have Muscular Dystrophy and Tarlov Cyst Disease, but you’d never know it. Dancing keeps me fit, active, and mentally strong. Sean is skilled working with medical challenges.

Yes, I recommend Dancebasic! I train weekly with Sean Tamashiro in American Rhythm and Smooth styles 💃🏼 preparing for Bay Area competitions 🕺🏻 Imho he is the best professional; making the dances clear and fun and accessible.

“Cindy was amazing with our 5 kids. She worked hard to individualize each lesson for each student. She found pieces that interested my teen boys and kept them challenged and playing. She has such a love for the kids and a love for teaching piano.”

“We would highly recommend Cindy as a piano teacher. She has years of experience and she passes her love for music and piano on to her students. She is patient and kind, and tailored her lessons based on how our daughter learns best.”

“Cindy has taught piano to some or all of our six children every year for the past five years. Our kids have loved working with her and advanced in their piano abilities.”

I was very nervous to start dance lessons in my forties, but thanks to Sean it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Not only is he a patient instructor, but he takes the time to understand my learning style and explains himself in a way that makes me feel confident in every step. With Sean’s positive instruction and motivation, dancing went from a hobby to a part of my identity. He has been my instructor for over ten years now, and in that time my posture and my confidence have greatly improved. Thank you, Sean!

I’ve worked with Sean for 15 years and I absolutely love it! He’s very patient and has the instinct to know how each student learns. Sean has the ability to break things down and explain them very clearly. This allows his students to make progress and keeps them encouraged.

Sean personalizes every lesson and is extremely motivational. As a dancer with physical limitations, I value how he works with my weaknesses to overcome challenges off the dance floor as well. He is extremely engaging and invested in my progress. We work hard, but he makes it easy and fun. I’m always surprised by what I can achieve and how quickly the time flies. He is the perfect choice for both new and experienced dancers.
