BELLEVILLE (Aug. 27, 2009) — The West Hudson Council for the Arts and the Dawn Lau Dance Company are proud to present their new joint venture with MDN Latin Dance Studio. After years of searching for a facility to call home for their dance classes, this new state-of-the-art dance studio located at 289 Main St. in Belleville will enable the WHCA to offer a full range of dance programs for all ages.

In partnering with Marcus Nieves and Manny Santiago, owners of MDN Latin Dance Studio, a studio that offers salsa and mambo instruction, will complement the programs that WHCA offers. Marcus is New Jersey’s elite instructor in New York Style Mambo On2. Marcus is also a former Eddie Torres dancer. The WHCA is a nonprofit organization that has been fostering the arts one child at a time for the past 12 years.

The Dawn Lau Dance Company is a teaching and performing company that offers classes in tap, ballet, jazz, modern/contemporary, creative movement and hip-hop and musical theatre to community centers, day cares and recreation centers.

Every child has this ability to be creative and through “process-based” teaching, we help them grow to their full potential.

Registration at a discounted rate will start Aug. 28, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Free demo classes will be offered during Friday registrations, Aug. 28 and Sept. 4. Come join their celebration.
