The world-renowned balboa dancers and teachers Mickey Fortanasce and Natalia Rueda are coming to Oxford to teach at our Monday balboa class! Don’t miss it!
Classes will be at our usual levels of beginners and improvers. We are thrilled to have these balboa icons coming to Oxford: you will love them!
Mickey Fortanasce
Mickey has been at the forefront of balboa for 20 years: his technical virtuosity, musicality and showmanship together with his love of both dance history and theory have made him internationally renowned as a balboa teacher. He has taught extensively all over the world and has been featured in newspapers, magazines and television. He is an inspirational teacher for all levels of dancers.
Natalia Rueda
Natalia describes her first experience of balboa as “love at first dance”. Known for her lively and technically precise teaching approach, Natalia has infectious energy and passion and a wonderfully distinctive flair. Her dancing style has evolved through roots in Colombian folk, ballet training and the whole gamut of swing dances from lindy hop and jazz dance to collegiate shag. Since founding Ottawa’s first Swing school, Swing Dynamite, Natalia has taught throughout North America, Central America, and Western Europe and this year will be doing a teaching tour in Asia.
