My training comes from a diversity of professional perpetrations throughout my life. I started with the *Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, from 1985 to 1989.  The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, academic taught me about technique and bringing my flavor from my most innersole by dramatically expressing the upper torso through Body movements. I continued with my training at the *Eddie Torres until the 1994 and later went back for more training in early 2001 to 2004. Here I was able to learn about his intricate partner turn patterns along with the appreciation for musicality. Training under the Eddie Torres curriculum allowed me to understand more about teaching other students as well affording me to meet and greet with lots of trained dancers in and around the world. I was unrelenting about learning all that I could and went on to train with *Rebecca Abas at the Four Season Dance Studio from 1995 onto 2001. There I studied the International Ballroom. I learned how to be competitive in the dance competeions. I later went on to train with the *Latin Fever Dance Studio. I was able to learn over 300 fancy foot shines and do plenty of partner-work techniques. Training under Latin Fever Dance Studio has allowed me the opportunity to understand how to teach the social aspect to dancing.

My desire came from teaching my friends and family. I always had the will to teach and very passionate in doing so. I started teaching professionally in the early part of 1994 at Four Season Dance Studio and presently.  

I have worked with adults and kids of the blind and deaf, of autism, as well as miss-behaved kids. My clients also include the slow learner as well as fast learner. In addition to, we have clients of novice, beginners, intermediates’, advance to professional competitors. So we welcome all!!!

Omar is a male student of mine who came to me to learn how to dance. He had no previous dance experience and mentioned that he was not sure if he could learn. I assured him that I could teach him and signed him up for the NY Hustle Dance classes. I told him that if he listens to my instructions he will be dancing very soon. Omar was shy about learning to dance. However, after about a year of lessons, Omar head enough confidence on the dance floor and that brought joy in my heart to the point I wanted to cry out with pure joy and excitement. When I saw his confidence a year later, I knew I was teaching the right art and that made me proud but most importantly seeing my students’ success.

Look for and listen to your potential instructor before starting with them. Look for how they are teaching their students in a class and how they interact with them doing their social dance functions. Check to see if they are able to tell you what you are doing well or not doing well
