Ramon Gaitan has lived in this country since the age of 10.  Dance has always been a driving force in his life, and even after retiring from being a professional ballet dancer, he still found a way to keep dancing, whether it’s from dancing in the Nutcracker to teaching social dance through ballroom or teaching private lessons, or just getting on the dance floor on New Years Eve! Dance will always be a guiding, fulfilling part of life for Ramon, another language, connecting him with others and himself!
