Our Amazing Teachers

Instructors

Miquel Menéndez

Miquel started dancing when he was 15 years old with his parents in his hometown. He started with line dancing and country western dancing.

Quickly that became a thing and he started competing and teaching until he reached the top division in that dance. He also danced as a Pro in that dance and had the luck to have coached and danced with many people throughout Europe.

Soon after he stopped competing in line dance, West Coast Swing came to him and he enjoyed it so much that it is now his primary dance which he is teaching throughout the whole continent.

Sharing his love for this dance is the goal that he hopes you share with him and hope he can show you his vision of this dance that we all love.

Hanna Ojanaho

Hanna is a Finnish dancer, dance teacher, and performer who started her dancing journey at 9 years old, doing various solo dance styles. The biggest love of her dancing life was born when she was introduced to dancing with a partner.

So much so she eventually studied for a degree in Bachelor of Culture and Arts, graduating as a dance teacher in 2010. Since then, Hanna has been an active part of Finnish dancing culture, teaching and sharing her love for connection, musicality, and technique all over Finland.

WCS was introduced in Hanna´s life in 2013. She was mesmerized by the playfulness and the level of communication in the dance and got hooked right away. Hanna and her dance partner brought WCS to their then hometown Oulu and started to create a community of WCS dancers there. In class, it is essential for this bubbly, expressive teacher to have a relaxed learning environment as well as a solid pedagogical approach to teaching.
