This Saturday, Hustle sparkles again in CT with Norwalk's own "Saturday Night Fever".  It's time to start your journey to the dance that defined a generation, The Hustle.  Not the line dance....the partner dance.

Hustle is the fiercest and most dynamic of the partner dances.  It is the perfect choice if you only have 30 seconds to impress your friends.  It is also the ideal dance for a night-club or party because it is primarily done to popular music of yesterday and today.

Erik & Anna will teach some fun Hustle workshops.   Already know the basics?...Come early and challenge yourself with Erik's Special Brew.  The night will get down with a fun party for you to play with all your new steps....with our legendary DJ, Bobby Morales.

DJ Bobby Morales will be spinning the hottest Hustle music you've ever heard.  That might be a tall order for most DJs, but not for Bobby.  Bobby is one of the premier Hustle DJs in the world and by playing some of the recognizable classics and mixing in the some of the fiercest house rhythms you've ever heard, he's going to make you wish the night never ends.

Who is Erik Novoa:

Erik Novoa has 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.

He has also excelled in Just Hustle 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 20-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'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.
 

Who is Anna Brady:

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.
