MEET NICK AND ANNA GOLLA

Coming from Seattle, WA, Nick and Anna bring years of experience, originality and passion to the studio and stage. They both graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Sociology, and a Minor in Dance. There they studied various dance styles, dance history, stage production, and choreography. Hungry for more, they trained at Seattle’s esteemed Westlake Dance Center, then relocated to LA to train at the industry’s top notch studios, and of course at the Boogiezone Community Classes, in which they helped establish. Dancing and choreographing now for over 17 years, some of their combined dance companies include kaSAma (founders), Kultura Dance Troupe, Filipinyana Dance Company, The University of Washington Cheer Squad, The Seattle Super Sonics Stunt Team, InEffect, Cruz Control, Essence, and Breed. Through Boogiezone and Breed they helped direct and produce Boogiezone.com's first production called "EVE", which was attended by dance lovers world wide. Currently they are choreographing for a developing local singing group in Seattle, and just recently performed at Seattle's oldest theatre, "The Moore", for Cruz Control's "Dance of the Dead". They continue to teach and choreograph for many upcoming artists, school dance teams, studios, and competition teams on the west coast and beyond.

About The Community Class Network

As a physical extension of Boogiezone.com – YOUR online dance community connection, The Boogiezone Community Class adopts and promotes an atmosphere focused on positivity and inspiration. Its unique class vibe goes unmatched, known worldwide as one of the most comfortable, non-competitive environments to train in. Taught by Boogiezone Community members from around the world and the industry’s most sought after choreographers, the Boogiezone Community Class provides the physical platform for everyone to interact and engage on a multitude of levels.

In conjunction with establishing its reputation as an emerging online dance community website, Boogiezone also developed a strong reputation for organizing some of the best workshops and master classes. In an effort to offer quality dance instruction to the masses on a more frequent basis, the first weekly Community Class was established at Focus Dance Center in Irvine, California on June 20, 2004. After three years, over a hundred teachers, and nearly a thousand students later, The Community Class Network was born. In November 2007, The Community Class concept was integrated into two more Southern California studios, Jayvee Dance Center in Alhambra, and Hype Studios in Torrance. As a result of duplicating the class and offering it in more locations, Boogiezone is broadening its sphere of influence, further fulfilling its mission to reach as many dancers and work with as many studios as possible. We have recently also started to travel with the "Boogiezone Community Class Connection" and since then have taken the class concept to New York - NY, Vancouver, B.C., Vancouver WA, Bellevue - WA, Winnepeg - Manitoba, Miami, Orlando, and Gainesville - Florida. New Zealand, New Jersey, and London are now also set to offer the classes on a regular basis! Now, this September 24th Boogiezone will be offering a new series of classes that will reach the Contemporary dance market. We are excited about this expansion and would like to thank you all for your support and love for our classes!

The Mission Statement

“To further bridge the gap between the Dance Community and Industry by providing a place where dancers from every background and with any skill level are welcome to meet, greet, inspire, be inspired, and learn in an inviting, and non-competitive, relaxed dance environment.”

Class Philosophy

1. To provide top notch, quality, dance instruction that allows students to improve and become better dancers and performers.
2. To provide a place where members of the Boogiezone Community can come together to meet and share their passion for dance and performance in another kind of forum, a "physical" one.
3. To provide an opportunity for those who do not know about Boogiezone to get curious about the community and want to become a part of it.
4. To encourage all students that "getting better" is a process, and that we are all rooting for each others personal dance success.
5. Build relationships with new students right away in order to get them to WANT to come back again and again.
6. Invite instructors to teach that represent every aspect of the dance community, from aspiring, to professional, to members of local companies and crews. This helps to foster the sense of community we are trying to promote, and allows us to strike as many connections as possible!
7. Keep the class (from warm up to combination) positive, fun, interactive, and relaxed.

we're super duper excited for our trip and class of course!

see you all on wednesday!!!

besitos!
