Charles Ogar Dance Background

Charles got his first taste of dance at the age of eight in elementary school through a program called “Believe In Me”. In elementary and middle school he also played the flute, piano, and alto saxophone which gave him a keen sense of rhythm and musicality. Thereafter, he first learned the basic steps for salsa in his first year of college. 

Charles soon found himself taking weekly classes and also going out social dancing religiously. He quickly gained a strong foot in the basics and then began adding his own energetic style and flavor.

Subsequently, Charles expanded his dancing to bachata, punta, samba, cha-cha, salsa on2, a bit of Cuban salsa, and now Kizomba. Specifically, Charles loves how Kizomba/Urban Kiz uniquely embodies the connection between the ground, your partner, and the music.
