My husband and I take Hustle dance lessons from the most marvellous instructor Xavier Cadeau. We entered his class, as street Hustle dancers and through Xaviers expertise and knowledge, we are transitioning to ballroom Hustle dancers.
As an instructor, Xavier is extremely patient and makes every effort to ensure that he explains the Hustle dance fundamentally to all his students. He breaks down the movements scientifically to provide one the best opportunity to fully comprehend, structurally, how to properly execute the technique.
He is always positive and sees the potential in all of his students. I enjoy him, as an instructor, and recommend him highly.
If you want to learn how to Hustle in a fun-filled and nurturing environment, I invite you to Xaviers School of Dance.

Xavier is an awesome dance instructor. He makes the lessons fun, easy, comfortable and exciting. I’ve had other dance instructors prior to Xavier, and I can honestly say that he has surpassed my expectations. He works my butt off, but it’s always fun. I feel comfortable, confident and always eager for the next lesson. Xavier is very precise with his teaching method and catches every little mistake that you make and patiently works with you until you master the steps or pattern that he wants you to learn; and boy, he has many patterns and turns to learn. With him, it’s not only about learning the dance steps but also learning to maintain the proper posture and poses to look like a natural on the dance floor. Dancing with him has built my confidence to such a high, that I actually look forward to going dancing and no longer feel that I have two left feet; I am no longer nervous or timid on the dance floor and really enjoy dancing with others (I enjoy it when others gather around to watch us dance). If you’re looking for an instructor who has a passion for dancing, and takes pride in teaching, then he is absolutely the one for you. The other reason that I appreciate him, so much, is his flexibility to come to my house and do the lessons. His passion, pride, and his love for dancing puts him a step above the others…He was born for this. I recommend him highly to all of my friends. I promise you will love him.

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.

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

.

You should ask any question about your personal injuries, about your medical conditions, and or about your learning style. These questions should be asked or told to any potential instructors before starting a dance class
