Testimonials

"Brett Outchcunis is a wealth of talent and an untapped resource for children's programs. He has a superlative ability to communicate with children and people that draws them into a performance. Brett taught at my school for two years and I have students who, at the time were only four years old, still asking when he will be coming back. He lights up a room and keeps children glued to the show with his effervescent personality, which is matched only by his technical ability."

Nicole Guinard - Artistic Director, En L'air Dance Theatre - Westport, MA

"The incredible positive energy and enthusiasm that Brett brings to his teaching of dance is highly motivating and infectious! Each week he not only gets the kids on their feet and moving but has them coming into the studio with palpable energy that seems to lift them off the dance floor. He has a rare charm and skill that keeps his young students highly energized yet focused so that they work hard, laugh a lot and strive to meet the challenges he puts before them. My daughter couldn't wait to show anyone and everyone who would watch the new steps she learned with Brett. What started as a desire to win Brett's approval quickly turned into her deep sense of pride and confidence in her own accomplishments!

In a time when our pop culture provides many role models with questionable behaviors and traits, Brett is a bright and refreshing example of what parents want for their children. He is able to be "way cool" in the kids' eyes while always demonstrating his sincere respect, kindness and consideration towards all. Brett is a gem that we regret having to share with the West Coast!! We all hope he comes back soon!"

Cindi Zembo - Dance Mom - Westport, MA

"Students love Brett (Ooch) Outchcunis! His warmth and great sense of humor create a rapport with kids of all ages. He is my students' favorite classroom guest, hands down. His yo-yo skills are top notch and having him visit is always a special treat!"

Wandra Harmsen - 5th Grade Teacher, Morse Pond School - Falmouth, MA

"Brett Outchcunis worked for The Wareham Recreation Department for approximately 9 months. During Brett's employment, he taught a variety of classes. Classes that he instructed were: Ballroom Dancing for Adults, Hip Hop Dance for Teens, Yo-Yo Workshop/Lessons for Youths, and about a half dozen Preschool Classes. Brett's strongest talents are adaptability, honesty, and enthusiasm.

There were several times that Brett made spontaneous decisions and was able to "pitch-in" and assist in a moments notice; he is a real team player. Brett always seemed like he had hidden lesson plans ready to go! As a Recreation Director, I was very impressed with Brett's teaching style, repore with children, and enthusiasm. Every Director would love to have a "Brett" on their staff full time."

Candice Hemenway - Director of Wareham Recreation Department - Wareham, MA
