Grand MasterThomas Festa
Grand Master Thomas Festa's greatest accomplishments aren’t the many awards he has received or the trophies won, but the small victories made on a day to day basis with children and adults. He sees the potential in all of his students and works to bring the best out of each of them. His credentials are many but they fall short of who he is and what he stands for. Watch one of his classes and you’ll see what cannot be seen on the wall covered with awards and accolades.
