I met Sal through an organization called Dancing Disciples, that gives free hip hop class on Fridays! Sal killed it in the cypher that night, and it's not surprising since he's been freestyle dancing since he was a kid, performing and competing with it too! It wasn't until a couple years ago, though, that he decided he wanted to learn how to pick up choreography as well. He discovered Athletic Garage and started going to hip hop classes there as well as taking private lessons. He's also been challenged by his teachers to make up his own choreography and figure out the counts too! Class was frustrating for him at first, not being able to remember the moves, but now Sal knows how to groove through it and just keep coming back to improve. Sal is taking class almost everyday, at other studios too like Snowglobe, and he has a performance at Disney California Adventure coming up this summer! Learn all about how he got into that and more by checking out this episode. :)
