The Albuquerque International Folk Dance Foundation (AIFDF) was started by Gary in 1979, who bicycled down to the old Albuquerque High School building on Central Ave, with a sound system, including amplifier and speakers, and suitcases of cassette tapes strapped onto his bicycle. He later became one of the board of directors of the AIFDF.
Gary specializes in Argentine Tangos, Hungarian dance cycles, Scandinavian dances, and Vintage ballroom dance, as well as many other recreational areas.
He has taught at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp.
