Practice Break

Hustle Moves That Travel
Level: Intermediate

One of the great things about Hustle is that it incorporates many of the attributes of other dances.  This workshop will explore how Hustle can travel around the dance floor.  This is one of the most powerful features of Hustle because it allows for showcasing your dance in one spot, then moving to a different location.  And nothing helps call attention to your dance than when you literally make circles around your competition.

* Requirements: Participants must have working knowledge of their Hustle basics and understand the names and counts of all the basics.  Entry is subject to the discretion of the instructor.  Please review Dance Etiquette Tip #8.

Erik Novoa has been competing in West Coast Swing since 1998. In that time, he has risen to compete in the Invitational division. He has placed top-10 at the US Open in the Classic Division three  times and has excelled in Strictly Swing and Jack & Jill competitions at numerous national events.  Most recently, he won 1st Place in the "All Star" Jack & Jill at the 2009 New Year's Dancin' Eve in Burlington, MA.

Erik has also been competing in Hustle since 2000 and immediately stole the show by becoming a 2 time national champion in 2001 & 2002.  He later became a finalist on ABC Family's revival of Dance Fever, becoming the only Hustle act on the premier series which aired in July 2003.

Erik's former training in ballet, jazz, tap and musical theater enables him to teach in a style which is knowledgeable, clear and concise.  He is a featured instructor for many regional and national events because of his ability to get people dancing quickly using his humor, personality, style, rapport with students, and his solid knowledge of dance fundamentals and technique.  Students complete each workshop with a better understanding of the specific dance, overall dance technique and musicality.

Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Anna Brady combines the discipline of classical ballet with the creativity of partner dancing.

She trained and performed in both classical and modern styles with Minnesota Dance Theatre & School and Minnetonka Dance Theatre. She also competed in ballroom/latin dance while at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

In 2004, Anna choreographed and performed with the University of Chicago Ballet Company and attended the Alvin Ailey summer training program.  Since moving to New York in 2005, Anna has performed with Bernier Dance Company, the Little Orchestra Society and the Tyler Dunn Foundation.

Anna has recently performed with Erik Novoa in contemporary ballet pieces "Ordinary Day" (Choreographed by Erik) and "The Player" (Choreographed by Anna).  She is known throughout the northeast for her "Spins, Turns & Technique" classes for partner dancing.
