Top Gun Teacher

Last years Top Gun teacher was Eric Hudson from St.Paul, Minnesota. Eric competed with his students in International and American championship and scholarship events and battled hard against some very strong opponents to hold the overall best average and to walk away with a cash prize of $1,000.00. This is in addition to top teacher prizes offered at the event. You must have a minimum of 4 students dancing Championship or Scholarship events to qualify for this title.
