Showcase night
A showcase night, not a recital
We chose a showcase night over a recital, and we chose it on purpose. Once a year, in May, families come into the studio, every class shares one routine, and then everyone dances together.
Dancers wear what they wear to class, so there are no costumes to order and no hall to rent.
Every class shares one routine
Dancers wear their own class clothes
Families watch from the studio floor

Sample dates.
Meet the teachers
Three teachers share the week at Hustle, and each leads the classes you see on the schedule.
Alecia Batres
Director, hip hop first steps and showcase crew
Alecia opened Hustle after teaching hip hop in Houston studios, and she leads the youngest hip hop class and the showcase crew. She speaks Spanish with families who prefer it, and she answers the studio phone on Saturday mornings.
Rahsaan Breaux
Hip hop, ages 8 to 10
Rahsaan teaches the grooves and footwork that hip hop starts from, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. He grew up on the east side of Houston and has taught kids for most of his working life.
Tejal Kale
Jazz, ages 5 to 12
Tejal leads every jazz class, from the first Tuesday class for ages 5 to 7 to the Thursday class for ages 10 to 12. She trained in more than one style, and she likes to give a class a combination it can finish in a night.

“My daughter asked for hip hop after a cousin's party. The first class was a warm-up and one short combination, and she was already counting the beats in the car.”
Lupita H., parent of a seven-year-old“Rahsaan keeps his class moving and still stops to show a step a second time. My son goes straight to the studio floor on Saturday mornings.”
Marcus W., parent of a nine-year-old“We asked about costumes at the first visit and got a plain answer about showcase night. That's the reason we stayed.”
