Kim Brolet
West Coast Swing
Kim has been dancing since Kindergarten, taking tap, jazz and ballet after school every year until graduating high school. While in college, she discovered Country Line Dancing (and caught a glimpse of what she later found out was West Coast Swing). After Line Dancing for 10 years, she started learning West Coast Swing. In 2007 she discovered Erik’s classes and has had near perfect attendance ever since! In 2008, Kim also began learning Hustle from Erik.
Charity Miller
West Coast Swing
Born and raised in California, oddly enough I had never heard of "West Coast Swing" until I moved to the East Coast. I was never involved in dance as a child or young adult – preferring to participate in more traditional "sports" such as softball and volleyball. I was introduced to country line dancing shortly after I graduated college, and began to spend most Friday and Saturday nights on the dance floor. It was there that I was first exposed to West Coast Swing. A friend at the Cadillac Ranch was dancing on the side of the floor and I had to know what it was. He began taking me to classes and shortly thereafter, I was addicted!
Lisa Mammano
Hustle
Lisa has been dancing since the age of five consisting of a combination of ballet, jazz and acrobatics. She enjoys learning any new style of dance and she is known for picking up new choreography just by watching a routine! She heard about Erik's classes through a friend and started attending in 2007 to learn Hustle and West Coast Swing. Hustle quickly became her favorite dance and she can now lead as well as follow.
Renee Nieto
Hustle
Renee has always danced.....Her mother almost gave birth to her in a taxicab after a night out dancing!! When she was growing up, it was an activity, not lessons, but the act of putting on records of her favorite groups and gettin' down, in the living room, at a house party, a school dance, a picnic...wherever!
