Greg got addicted to Zydeco about 16 years ago by accident through a local Bon Temps club dance and a few years later he started a weekly CD dance to try and get more folks interested in this great music and dance. He also has web site experience and started a Zydeco web site called www.ZydeCoach.com which is a unique source of dance steps, the hottest video clips of Zydeco dancers, pictures, a message board and other great information.
For lessons or workshops he can be contacted at (619) 857-8409 or email gbenusa@pacbell.net.
