His tap dance style is musical, visually dynamic and soulful. Dancers in Winston's masterclasses will be moved towards an even richer sound and movement experience influenced by a range of masters, feelings and music. Specific ways to enhance footwork and rhythms with techniques taught to him by Ted Louis Levy, Dianne Walker and Barbary Duffy. Dancers will access that freeing, flying feeling when they move and take the time to get specific about the counts and what to emphasise.

Also a musical director pianist and all round dancer in many styles, he brings this knowledge and musical sensitivity to his expression, classroom and shows. Through his own experiences, observations and learnings from teachers across various disciplines, he has developed distinctions that create a freeing sound and movement experience.
