Larry Stevens
From the moment he learned his first tap step, at the age of fifteen, Larry Stevens has had a love affair with dance. His wide and varied career includes tap dancing in nite clubs, dancing in Broadway musicals and appearing at the Radio City Music Hall. He also danced, directed and choreographed summer stock shows where he staged musical numbers for such famous Hollywood and Broadway stars as Betty Grable, Van Johnson, Howard Keel, Gordon MacCrea, Bernadette Peters and Jane Mansfield.
Having taught ballet, jazz and tap, Mr. Stevens added ballroom dancing to his dance background, when he taught for the Fred Astaire studios. And for twenty odd years, Larry taught ballroom classes at the New School. Recently, he had the pleasure of teaching the sight impaired to ballroom dance. Formerly, the editor of Dance & the Arts, Mr. Stevens just finished writing an autobiographical novel: Confessions of a Dance Junkie and hopes to find a publisher.
Currently, he teaches at Dance Manhattan where he discovered the Argentine Tango and once again fell in love.
