Teaches at Stepping Out Studios

Billy Marti started dancing at the age of 18. He first attended the “Phil Black Dance Studio” in New York City thanks to a work/study program. Billy quickly mastered the fundamentals of dance, and within a year, realized he had found what would be his life’s passion. As his repertoire expanded to include other forms such as ballet, so did his experience with other dance studios like “Broadway Dance Center,” Theatre Dance And Steps. Within a year, Billy was hired with his first dance partner, Nancy Melius, to perform in Israel as a “Fame” dancer with Robert Guillaume and Albert Hague who played Professor Shorofsky. In that same year, Billy was a featured performer in Evelyn Champagne King’s video entitled, “Action.” Billy also performed in New York’s first dance fashion show for “La Crasia” gloves along with Artie Phillips and Nancy Melius. Continuing on the professional dance circuit, Billy performed a solo spot with Jennifer Lopez in a promotional spot for “Chess King” clothing. He earned additional professional dance credits by dancing in major nightclubs with “Freestyle’s” singing artists such as “Corina,” “Fascination,” and “Giggles.” Billy has also toured with “Compania Folklorica Latina,” a national dance company in which he received thousands of letters from adoring fans. Billy Marti’s film and TV credit include,”Funny Valentine,” “Alphabet City,” “WB11 Morning News,” and “FOX 5 News” backing Marc Anthony.Upon returning to New York, Billy was inspired while watching a competition in a nightclub. There he discovered his new love for Hustle Theatre Arts. He met Wanda Soto who began teaching him in the art of partnering. He soon began dancing and performing with Hustle’s elite dancers Lisa Nunziella, Maria Torres, Nelly Cotto, and Billy Farjardo. Billy fondly recalls the counseling and direction given to him by his hero, the late and truly great, Eddie Vega. Billy has also become known and recognized as a talented choreographer. He has choreographed for “Eleganza Italiana,” at the Mariiott Marquis in New York City, and for productions at one of New York’s more famous nightclubs.
