“Alfred has mean feet, his dance isn't just hard-hitting, it's also full of tonal contrast. He teaches students how to hear music in tap.”

“I have been a dance educator and children rights advocate for more than thirty years. I believe it is more important to teach a child about life through dance than to only train a child to dance. Alfred shares this belief. I attend his Tap classes and see his use of humor, warmth and strength to instill these elements in each student. I have been dancing for over fifty years and Alfred inspires me to be a better teacher.”

“Alfred's instruction during his classes is truly unique. In his Open level tap classes, he constantly assesses each individual's skill level and adjusts the lesson plan as necessary to make the class challenging and rewarding for every participant.”

“The first time I attended Alfred's beginner Tap class, I was uncertain about my ability since I had never taken Tap lessons. I was feeling uneasy and foolish until he came over and walked me through the steps in his authoritative but gentle way. I then knew I was welcomed in class and that dance and teaching are two of his passions. All of Alfred's students are treated equally - the young and the mature, the talented and the less skilled, the beginners as well as the advanced. Alfred, very caringly, stays right with his new students as they struggle with a difficult dance step and puts them at ease. I appreciate how rare it is to find a teacher with such incredible talent who is not only willing to work with beginners but who truly enjoys the process.”

Those fortunate enough to cross his path will surely benefit.

“Professor Lowe was one of my favorite professors at the University of Houston. He explains things using images to help students truly understand and change the way we move and think. All the while creating an environment that challenges us to take risks and try new things. His enthusiasm, positive energy and ability to demonstrate made the semester a memorable one. He is very dedicated to his teaching and the growth of his students."
