Pierre is an AMAZING person! I am living proof of this - my life has been forever changed, for the better, due to dance, and having had the privilege of being trained by him. The rewards of dancing and teaching are PRICELESS. Thanks Mr Pierrrrrrrre! :-)
Same for me! The best years I’ve experienced. Pierre is warm and wonderful and had changed so many lives. I was lucky enough to be trained by him. He is a legend.
I’m kinda of envious. I always loved ballroom but we never had it at our school. I did learn from my grandparents of course, but really wanted to learn more.
Mr Dulaine. A million blessing to you sir. You are one of life's truly beautiful human beings with a heart that is pure and decent. Your love, your commitment, your passion and your desire to bring good to where there is bad is so noble and inspiring. Your gift is dance and your sharing it has brought so much good. I was once one of those children you describe. No self confidence, no self esteem, troubled, awkward, insular, angry, afraid. At 14 years of age I found Ballroom dancing and it completely transformed my life for the better. I know without question if it were not for ballroom dancing, I would not be sitting here now writing this. The world so desperately needs more Pierre Dulaines.
What a wonderful man Pierre is! He has changed the lives of so many people. His grace and eloquence shine through his beautiful personality. May he continue bringing people together for a long time.
It was a wonderful honor to teach with Dancing Classrooms in NYC and work with Mr Dulaine, Yvonne Marceau and their team. Their teaching style is a wonderful model for life. Live as you dance: with pride, respect for yourself and others, a touch of humor.
Pierre...you bring tears to my eyes with your sense of humanity through dance! I wish Carl was still with us to see this! We have always loved you! Didi D'Errico
I'm currently in a introduction to dance class. This video was so beautiful. I remember the movie and loved it! If people just treated each other with respect despite the differences, this world would be a much better place to live.
In quarantine, my heart is aching for some slow ball room dancing just by hearing this, I think I'll just learn it alone and dance with my imaginary partner. 💜💜I hope it will change my life too.(13 april 2020)
Danced all my life and created better relationships. I married 1000's of people, and traveled the world with it. I think this video gives you part of many teachers lives. - Hans
Whenever I watch the movie take the lead of I had fell in love with ballroom dancing and wanted to learn how. I have cp that affects both legs but I love dancing and am grateful that I still can. I love feeling the music
Amazing presentation about one of the most powerful topics (in my opinion). Keep up the good work and thank you for inspiring us all. Now lets keep dancing :-)
imagine if this guy could see how much worse the problem got now lol people are legit awkward at the supermarket nowadays it's insane and i expect a massive spike in shootings tbh cause this ain't healthy at all
This is awesome, except for one thing. STOP teaching that only men can lead and women must follow. This is absurd. I am a woman, and I do both, and I primarily lead. I will never participate in a dance community that requires that I follow or disallows me to lead on the basis of my gender.
:-) I actually stopped teaching that. But for a different reason. Aprinsa, You are right that there should be no gender issues at dancing and if there still are some, there will be none any more in the future. If there are many people who do not understand that leading is not a one-way communication, then this means that there are many teachers who really could do a better job. The kind of communication which is core to partner dancing can actually be experienced best in it's pure state, without additional roles like "lead" and "follow". Especially for a beginner couple this also is the only way to have real communication in their dancing. And fun with it, of course, that's why we came for :-)

Inspirational is an understatement. What a beautiful man with an even more beautiful heart and mind.

Aprinsa,are you a Dance Teacher? If not then stop making such uninformed comments. You may always dance with yourself or your girlfriend. Enjoy!

Men should lead because that's how ballroom dancing works, if you don't like it don't dance.
