This is an exceptional and rare opportunity to learn from two absolutely
fabulous dancers and instructors! Natalie Mavor and Curtis Collins have been dancing for over
30 years. You may already know that Natalie defeated all of the top salsa couples in Los Angeles in
the 2006 LA Salsa Championships at the Mayan Club. She won the honor of the hottest Salsa dancer in
LA! But Natalie and Curtis together are even more fabulous!
Natalie and Curtis have performed worldwide, including dance performances with Harry Connick, Jr. at
the Bellagio in Las Vegas, with Jay Leno in San Francisco, and at the Playboy Mansion in Los
Angeles. In 2004 and 2005 they toured Japan and were the first American couple to be invited to
perform at the historic Toho Dance Hall in Tokyo.
In 2007, Natalie and Curtis were cast in Disney’s “Enchanted”, filmed in Central
Park (New York City). They have also coached actors for the feature film “Shall We
Dance” (2005). Other credits include “Days of Our Lives”, “The Young & the
Restless”, “Dance with Me”, and the “Swan Princess”.
