About me:
Ramona is known internationally for her wildly graceful style and spontaneity on the dance floor. She was only 14 when legendary swing dancer Frankie Manning introduced her to New York at the Mid-Summer Night Swing series at Lincoln Center. Since then she has been teaching and performing all over the world. In 1998 and 1999, she placed first at the American Lindy Hop Championships in the junior division. As a founding member of Minnie’s Moochers, she taught and performed in Singapore in 2000. That same year she also performed in Tokyo representing Swing Dance America. In 2002, Ramona became a World Lindy Hop Champion in Stockholm, Sweden.
In addition to swing, Ramona is skilled in classic and modern dance techniques having recently completed the Professional Studio Program at the José Limon Institute. Ramona has taught at The Julliard School, Bard College and the Joffrey Ballet school. She is an experienced artist in education teacher doing residencies with children in schools across the country.
Ramona continues to explore the intersection between lindy and modern dance, recently staring in sight specific spectacle Agora 2 at McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Currently, Ramona is a member of the Vanavar Caravan, a contemporary dance company specializing in modern, clogging and ethnic dance.
Additionally, she dances with the Silver Shadows, a lindy hop and jazz dance group. She lives in New York City, but you will most frequently find her teaching or performing at Lindy Hop festivals from Houston to Sweden!
Enough of that!
Most important is my love of all things that honestly swing. It is the heart beat in my blood. I strive to share this light with as many souls as possible. Gratitude leads me forward.
Thanks to my parents, Frankie Manning, the Silver Shadows, and all those who inspire me!
