Ryan Hutchens
Salsa/Hip Hop at Act II. I've been dancing for about 9 years now. While salsa is my love I also enjoy breakdancing, hip hop, and even Latin ballroom. I accept all forms of dance and would learn any style. I believe any one can learn to dance. But making it your own is much harder. If you ever see me out look for me on the dance floor because I don't sit down!
