ABOUT LAURENCE
My name is Laurence Bonfoey and I am
a Tucson Native. My love of dance began in 1974, when a friend invited me to a Country Western night club.
​
Watching amazing Dancers doing awesome footwork, spins and turns motivated me to learn more!​
So in 1975, I landed a full time job at Fred Astaire School of Dance! I jumped into the training classes with my determination, lots of practice, and my love of Music!
​
I was trained in 11 dances, leading and following. Mans and lady's footwork.
20 Moves in each Dance!
​Two years later, I received my certificate of completion which hangs on my wall to this day.

My passion and love of great Country Western music has inspired me to teach for over 48 Years!
DANCING WITH MY HORSE
When I am not teaching people, you will find me training my horse. She came to me as a young filly. I trained her using natural horsemanship methods.
​
Like dancing with humans, the two of us communicate with very light cues. We read each other's body language and move in harmony together.
​
I teach Footwork,Timing,and Rhythm.
I will show you how to lead and follow effortlessly!
