Roll-in, Roll-out is a move

this simple move and make it more exciting.

designed for WCS dancers who are familiar with the 7 basic steps
(review
them here). This subject to the discretion of the

Who is
Erik Novoa: |
|
 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. Erik is also an outstanding
follower. Anyone who has seen him follow in a Jack & Jack
competition knows that there is nothing he can't (or won't) do.
His 17-year background in ballet, jazz, modern, musical theater
and tap is evident in his avant-garde routines, creative social
dances, and expert teaching style.
Erik began
developing the West Coast Swing (WCS), Hustle and Salsa
communities in southern Connecticut in January 2006, offering
regular weekly dance classes in Fairfield, Stamford and South
Norwalk. In his first year in business, Erik was recognized and
selected as the editor's choice for the "Best Way To Get In
Step" in Fairfield County's "2006 Best Of The Gold Coast"
rankings.
 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. |
