Glenn White was a long time and a favorite instructor at Hollywood Ballroom Dance Center.  He was known for his clear, concise directions and his willingness to help students “get it right.”  Always kind, always understanding and patient. A wonderful dancer and teacher.  A gentleman.  A friend.  He will be missed.
