Nathan Bugh
Nathan Bugh brings the Jazz Age vividly to life, in the classroom and in performance. With a decade of professional experience teaching dancers of all ages and skill levels, he is equally at home in dance camps, public schools, and private events. Nathan has taught at specialized camps worldwide, like Swing Out New Hampshire, Lindy Focus, and Swing Brother Swing. He has been an artist in residence at P.S. 144, home of the champion dance program featured in "Mad Hot Ballroom." And he has given "Horizons" seminars in jazz dance at The Juilliard School, his alma mater. If you're visiting New York, you can attend his weekly classes at Dance Manhattan and Columbia University, and biweekly classes at the Vanaver Caravan Institute. Some of his dance lessons are available online at www.iDance.net, where he was the top selling instructor for four consecutive months.
Nathan is also fortunate to have many opportunities to share his passion on stage and television. Nathan danced in David Tutera's "Great Gatsby" wedding on the hit reality series "My Fair Wedding." Nathan also performed on FoxNC's "Fox and Friends Christmas" with George Gee and cast members from "Sleigh Bell Swing." He danced Lindy Hop in Noemi LaFrance's site-specific odyssey, "Agora II.” And he performed with the Vanaver Caravan at Jacob's Pillow, at the Rudolstadt Festival in Germany, and in a televised concert in the Redlands, California. He has been a featured dancer and instructor with several of today's top Swing bands, such as George Gee's Jump Jive n' Wailers, Harlem Renaissance Orchestra, The Cangelosi Cards, and he is part of four professional dance companies: Swing X, The Lindy Hop All-Stars, The Vanaver Caravan, and The Killer Dillers.
