Daniel Ortiz – Professional Dance Instructor

Daniel Ortiz is a student at FGCU currently studying Criminal Justice. He began dancing at a young age in styles such as tap, theater, and ballet. He would later join the salsa club and began dancing at a social level. This is where he became enamored by the elegance of dancing and started to pursue partner style dancing. It was at the salsa club that Fred Astaire was invited to demonstrate, and this is where Daniel’s Professional training would start. He was hired soon after and is very thankful to have begun and continue his amazing dancing journey.
