Teachers 

 

Katia Morales 

Co-Founder and Director

Katia developed a passion for the artistic beauty of dancing at an early age. She studied Classical Ballet with Russian Prima Ballerina Helena Voronova for over ten years, and also performed with a Mexican folklore troupe directed by renowned Marcelo Juarez, himself a former student of Amalia Hernandez, one of the most renowned choreographers/ directors in Mexico. 

Katia proceeded to become a certified Latin Dance Instructor in 2005, reinforcing her commitment to dancing. Training children, teens and adults has given her the experience required to teach her students how to develop their skills and attain their goals.

Katia’s passion for Latin dance took a definite turn when she and her partner Victor Contreras opened up their own dance company ComoMango in 2007. They have won 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in numerous competitions around the globe, defining them amongst the best dancers in Montreal and in Canada.

It is when she joined the Hustle world that Katia refined her art both as a dancer and a performer, bringing her ballet technique into her dancing.

 

 

Victor Contreras 

Co-Founder and Director

Victor discovered his true calling during a trip to Brazil. In Bahia, he fell in love with the culture, the music and the people, but he also discovered the art of dancing. It made such an impression on him that he endeavored to learn many dance styles, such as Lambada, Forro, Samba and Capoeira.

Wishing to master his Latin dance technique and skills, Victor joined the Salsa community at the age of 18. To further perfect his craft and to share his passion with others, Victor became a certified Latin Dance Instructor. Given his creative talent, he has developed many of his own choreographies.  

His professional career has taken him to perform at numerous events and congresses, as well as on TV shows, such as Quebec’s very own “Match des Étoiles” on Radio-Canada. Along with his partner Katia Morales, Victor opened up his own dance company, ComoMango, in 2007.

Victor’s performances always leave a lasting impression. Victor has gained an exceptional reputation both as a dancer and as a teacher. His experience and skills are reflected by the accomplishments of his students, who have won dance competitions on a regular basis.
