Meet Our Newest Faculty Members!!! 
Mitchel and Gigi

We are very excited to introduce Mitchel Federan and Gigi Torres newest members of our HC faculty.   

Mitchel comes to us from Ohio where he is the Artistic Director and Choreographer for Versatile Dance Company.  Though he started competing at age 5, he quickly put his competition life on hold to begin a professional career.  Mitchel has been nominated for two "Outstanding Featured Actor In A Musical" awards and won a Theatre World Award for "Best Broadway Debut" in 2004.  Incredibly enough, Mitchel achieved these credits before his 13th birthday.

Gigi is originally from Irvine, CA and is an worldwide instructor, sharing her knowledge and love for dance from the East Coast to the West Coast and overseas in Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Australia.  She is the Director/Founder of the All-Female Dance Company "Essence" that consists of the top working ladies in the dance industry.  In addition, her choreography has been featured on So You Think You Can Dance Scandinavia, Ukraine, & Poland.
