Teachers
Mickey Fortanasce has been at the forefront of balboa for over 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 and SlowBal 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 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 and grace. 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, Western Europe and Asia.
