Meet Your Teacher: Chris Van Staden!
Here's where it all started...Chris has a long history in dance beginning in South Africa, where his career led him to dance across the globe and opened on stage at concerts for Beyonce and Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Migos, Cassper Nyovest and many more. A few years later (and immigrating to Australia!) he now runs the awesome New Age Dance studios here in Cowes! Here's just one clip of many we'll make sure to share:
