FRED & TINA are from Cleveland Ohio.   Fred learned to dance the Hustle from fellow marines that were from NYC while Tina learned locally in Cleveland.  It was when Fred came home to Cleveland that they met at local nightclub in the summer pf 1979.  They have been dancing the Hustle together ever since. They're best known for the “smooth and graceful way” they dance their Hustle.

Introduced to the West Coast Swing in 1996 they quickly fell head over heels with the dance. They love that they can combine their favorite past-times -DANCING – TRAVELING and MAKING NEW FRIENDS. Both Fred & Tina teach dance part time and would love to make it a full time career.

They both have played a very important part in their hometown dance club-The Cleveland Akron Swing & Hustle Club. Fred has held such positions as President, Vice President, Music Coordinator and Club DJ and Tina has been the club’s Treasurer, Workshop Coordinator and CASH BASH Co-Event Coordinator.  More recently Fred holds the position of Club President and CASH BASH Event Coordinator and Tina holds the position of Club Secretary.

They are invited to teach workshops and to judge dance competitions at Swing& Hustle dance events across the country. They also actively compete on the West Coast Swing and Hustle dance circuit and have numerous titles and trophies to show for their accomplishments. But the biggest accomplishments that they are most proud of are those uptained with their amateur’s students.  Helping them achieve their goals and sharing their knowledge with all who want to learn to dance is what truly makes them happy.

Fred also loves to DJ’s and occasionally is hired at some of these events for his musical expertise. They have a passion for dancing and hope to share some of that passion with you. They are so excited to be able to share their dance experience with you and they are looking forward to seeing you in their workshops and on the dance floor.  Both Fred and Tina are available for private lessons.
