Echo Huang has rhythm. Whether doing the Foxtrot, the Viennese Waltz or the Cha Cha, Huang is a dancing diva who moves with grace.
As a recent competitor in the 2011 Twin Cities Open Ballroom Dance Competition at the City Center Marriott in Minneapolis, she placed in the top three for the American Rhythm, American Smooth and International Standard dance categories. It’s an accomplishment that is no easy feat and she’s absolutely thrilled she’s done so well in her part-time pursuit of being a top-notch ballroom dancer.
When you think of this art form, most don’t think of it as an activity that’s popular with Asians. It’s something Huang never dreamed she’d be doing; not a typical hobby for an immigrant who came to the United States back in 1992 from China.
