About Charles Ogar
Charles got his first taste of dance at the age of 8 in elementary 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. He first learned the basic steps for salsa in his first of year of college. Charles soon found himself taking weekly classes and going out social dancing religiously. He quickly gained a strong foot in the basics and began adding his own energetic, style and flavor. From here, Charles expanded his dancing to bachata, punta, samba, cha cha, salsa on2, a bit of cuban salsa, and now Kizomba. Charles loves how Kizomba uniquely embodies connection between the ground, your partner, and the music.Charles is currently becoming well known, throughout the US and internationally, for his detailed instruction and super smooth and musical style on the dance floor
