Our classmate Natalie Mavor left prior to our senior year to pursue a professional dancing career. Here's a few notes from Enio Cordoba, one of her competitive dance partners.
Natalie Mavor
Her parents Roy & June were World Champions, her dad had choreographed my USC team, she had danced in the family show before she was in school. She was 15. Living in Houston. At the ’79 British, her parents agreed that I should dance with Natalie. For a few wonderful weekends we would fly back & forth from LA to Houston. Two months later we were the US Amateur Latin Champions. The girl could do everything. A month and a half later we placed 17th, making the quarterfinals of the World Championships in Stuttgardt, Germany. A month later due to financial issues for her dad, I was given the option of moving to Houston or turning pro with Natalie. I wanted to make the finals of Amateur Worlds the next year. It ended as suddenly as it had started. Over the next 32 years we would reunite for shows, cruises and when she had her own partners, Dual shows. When she was between partners, Natalie would be my 1st choice to perform at Let’s Dance. She strived to be the best and would go on to win several US National Dance Championships, the US Rising Star Professional Rhythm, and The Mayan Salsa Championship.
