BRIAN BUCHANAN
Instructor

Brian fell in love with music at an early age, listening and being captivated by the melodies, bass, and rhythms of Al Green, Whitney Houston, 2Pac, and Bone Thugz & Harmony. As he grew up, all of his favorite music inspired him to explore movement and get involved with hip hop choreography and dance while in school. He later began to discover various other forms of dance including other forms of hip hop, contemporary, jazz, ballet, vogue, and pole. As an instructor, he is very passionate about helping others discover their own movement.
