Mikey Pedroza
Since 1998, Mikey Pedroza has been dedicated to the understanding and preservation of classical American Jazz dances such as, Charleston, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Slow Dancing (Blues) and Solo Jazz. Hailing from Orange County, California, he passionately developed his own perfect blend of powerful movement and classic grace with a hard edged and playful style which is evident each time he steps onto the floor. Such dedication and originality has earned him numerous awards at national dance competitions as well as opened avenues for teaching and performing.
The same passion and energy Mikey exudes on the floor, he brings to students around the world. And as an instructor, he encourages his students to be self-expressive and creative while establishing a strong understanding of connection, lead/follow technique, frame, body awareness and mechanics. By building a good technical base, students are then free to develop their own personalized style with confidence. Mikey hopes that by sharing his love and knowledge of these dances with others, that they too will find joy in this classical American art form.
Natalia Eristavi
Natalia began Swing dancing in late 2010 at Atomic Ballroom in Irvine California. Since then, she has become one of LA’s young and up and coming Lindy Hop, Balboa and Jazz dancers. Drawing much of her inspiration from the original swing dancers from Southern California, she seeks to maintain a level of attention to detail that is both authentic and creative.
Natalia has competed, performed and taught at numerous events around the world. Her goal as a teacher is to inspire individual creativity as well as help build a clear and comfortable platform of technique for her students. Along with her love of performance and teaching, she is at the height of her self expression when social dancing with multiple partners from all manner of backgrounds and styles.
