Erin Michell
Director of Operations
Erin, a passionate hustler, fell in love with the dance's style, music, and community. She convinced her husband, Stewart, to join her in private lessons with Sam & Savage for their wedding dance. Now regulars at RS's Tuesday classes, Erin leads operations, ensuring the organization's stability. A choreographer and movement director, she shares her love for the arts globally in both theatre and film/TV industries. Erin values the global hustle community, connecting with artists worldwide.

Nathalie Scott-Hsiung
Treasurer
Nathalie found her way to hustle in the summer of 2016. Over the past several years she has grown into a community leader, event organizer, hustle instructor, and Hustle at RS Dance Society Board Member. Nathalie has played a vital role in securing our indoor dance space, tracking finances, and drafting the first Code of Conduct for the community. She loves the creativity and joy that hustle allows her to express and is constantly looking to expand her knowledge. Outside of hustle, Nathalie works as an environmental policy analyst and can be found sewing or hiking in her spare time.
Ami Jagger
Director of Outreach
Ami first hit the Vancouver dance scene in 2007, performing on multiple stages and events. After taking some time off, she stumbled into Hustle at RS in 2016 and it was a game-changer for her — she not only fell in love with the dance itself but also with the warm and welcoming community that came with it. Now, as a board member, her main mission is to keep the Tuesday tradition alive, all while spreading her passion for Hustle and bridging communities. When she is not immersed in Hustle, she's running her own business curating dream vacations for her clients.
Rachelle Gomez
Secretary
Rachelle’s journey in dance began with bachata, where she first discovered the joy of movement and connection. Her passion deepened when a friend introduced her to a hustle lesson at Robson Square, and that moment sparked a love for the dance—its unique style and the vibrant community it brought together. Since then, she’s been dedicated to making dance accessible to everyone, focusing on creating inclusive and supportive spaces where dancers of all backgrounds can come together, learn, and grow. With a strong passion for the nonprofit sector and extensive experience, Rachelle leverages her skills to help build and strengthen communities.
'Magic' Brad Waters
Interim Treasurer
You may know our Interim Treasurer as the co-host “Magic Brad” of Hustle-oke. The board decided that the skills he showcased there made him the perfect candidate to be the Interim Treasurer! Brad's Hustle journey began in the summer of 2019 at Robson Square with progressive lessons from Sav and Sam that fostered a deep love of Hustle. Brad is eager to give back the community that has given so much to himself and others with joy and passion. The biggest goal of Brad's tenure is to not mess up any important financial transactions or documents!
