Natalie Pagelsen
Natalie began swing dancing in 1999 and has had training in swing, latin, tango, and ballroom dances. Her focus and proficiency is in Lindy Hop. She was a member of the Slap That Bass competition troop and has competed individually as well as in team competition at the USA Grand National Dance Championships. Natalie is currently a member of the Big George Savoy Bouncers Lindy hop performance troop.
