JOIN OUR MAILING LIST TODAY AND RECEIVE $5.00 OFF YOUR FIRST LESSON – My goal as a dance instructor is to help the average person discover their unique ability to dance. I believe every body brings his/her own style and form of self expression to the dance floor. What excites me to go into the studio every day is seeing the variety of different ways that people move and watching my students develop into incredible movers and shakers. When people tell me they have two left feet, I love proving them wrong. I truly believe it does not matter who you are, or what your ethnicity, background, body type or whatever the excuses are. Everyone is capable of self-expression through movement. History shows that dancing has always been a part of our human nature. DANCE BACKGROUND & ACCOMPLISHMENTS – It’s been more than 11 years that I’ve been dancing. I started bboying and popping when I was in high school and learned to dance through the underground hip hop scene. – I spent my college years choreographing and competing in local hip hop competitions. Every free moment I had was at a practice session, bboy jam, or late night preparing for a show. I remember these moments as some of the best times of my life – I choreographed and danced on the R.E.S.E.T crew which won the TASA dance competition 3 years in a row. I graduated before we could win a fourth. – This is also the same crew that Bryan East of the Boogie Bots dance on. You may know them as one of the finalists from MTV’s acclaimed dance competition “America’s Best Dance Crew.” – I have also choreographed and performed for a few local crews such as the JDM dance crew and Common Ground Dance Team SALSA BACKGROUND In addition to being a veteran Hip Hop Dancer. I also love salsa dancing. Salsa is an absolutely beautiful dance. I fell in love with it about 2 years ago. I am the founder and program director of the NYC salsa dance company. It is currently one of Manhattan’s premier salsa dance programs offering studio classes at four different skills levels. With group and private Dance Classes Perth taking place almost every day of the week. Our specialty is bringing beginners into the world of salsa and for this reason, it is one of the most popular salsa dance schools in the city. I feel that this infusion of latin influence has made me a more versatile hip hop dancer and enriched my choreographies. – JOIN OUR MAILING LIST TODAY AND RECEIVE $5.00 OFF YOUR FIRST LESSON – LEARN TO DANCE HIP HOP … in a way that is simple & effective.
