Noah Catala
AKA: NOAHLOT GOT IT
DANCER / CHOREOGRAPHER / ACTOR
Born in Spanish Harlem, Noah “Noahlot” Catala has made a name for himself as a dancer, choreographer, and actor, all while uplifting and representing his community. His dance journey began at just two years old, when he famously started doing headspins on concrete, earning the nickname ‘Noahlot’ for mastering a wide range of styles, including Hip-hop, Latin, Popping, Locking, House, Krump, and Hustle.
Noah was trained by his mother, Violeta Galagarza, founder of the nonprofit dance company KR3Ts, which has been developing top-tier professional dancers for over 30 years. By the age of five, he was already on tour, and at seven, he made his screen debut in an Apple iPod commercial. He later joined Bachata legend Romeo Santos on tour and has appeared in commercials for Showtime’s ‘Desus & Mero.’
Noah’s versatility has allowed him to work with some of the world’s top artists. He performed alongside A$AP Ferg and Big Sean at the 2019 VMAs and has appeared in music videos and performances with legends like Nas, Omarion, A Boogie, Karol G (most recently at the 2024 VMAs), 50 Cent, Meg Donnell, Fetty Wap, Prince Royce, and Aventura. He also received recognition from Chris Brown for a dance video that amassed 1.4 million views on Instagram.
In addition to his dance career, Noah has shown his acting chops, co-starring as Hector in Netflix’s hip-hop history series ‘The Get Down.’ (pictures) He also portrayed Graffiti Pete, a street artist, in Lin Manuel Miranda’s film adaptation of ‘In The Heights.’
Recently, Noah became a dancer for the Brooklyn NETS, further showcasing his talents on a major platform.
Noah is also known for his contributions to the Litefeet dance community, where his unique style has gained him recognition as both a performer and judge. He has taught Litefeet classes internationally and continues to inspire dancers by hosting weekly meetups in the park.
Beyond the stage, Noah has always found ways to give back to his community. He has helped raise funds for Puerto Rican relief efforts after Hurricane Maria and provided food and clothing to elderly residents of East Harlem during the pandemic. In 2019, he received the Community Service Award from the 116th Street Festival for 17 years of service to his community, El Barrio.
Noah’s passion for dance and community continues to drive him, whether he’s teaching, performing, or choreographing for major events and artists. He also works as an assistant choreographer at the Joffrey Ballet School and incorporates American Sign Language into some of his performances, adding another layer of connection and creativity to his work.
