Charlotte Jorgensen
A championship dancer and native of Denmark, Jorgensen is fluent in five languages. She holds a Professional Danish Dancers’ Association teaching degree and is an Honors Graduate with a teaching and adjudicating license from the World Dance and Dance Sport Council.
Moving to London, England–known as the Mecca of ballroom dancing in the early Nineties, she rapidly progressed through the Amateur ranks, winning the World Amateur Championship in 1994. In 1997, she began competing professionally with Dancer Andrew Sinkinson, where their talents flourished. Their partnership culminated in great success when they ranked 2nd at the World Championship and at all other Grand Slam Events. She now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada and travels to coach, choreograph and judge dance events across the U.S.
A sought-after choreographer, Miramax hired her in 2003 to provide specialist dance coaching to Actor Richard Gere for the movie “Shall We Dance.”
American Ballroom Theater hired her as an adjudicator for their finale in what became known worldwide as “Mad Hot Ballroom” – the documentary about New York’s inner city kids and their passion for ballroom dancing.
Most recently you would have seen her on ABC televisions summer hit “Dancing with the Stars” where she was partner, choreographer and coach to John O’Hurley. John and Charlotte had a blast together during the extraordinary long rehearsal hours and remain friends to this day.
Jorgensen is currently involved with Dance 4 Health, a non-profit, bringing physical awareness to children and teens through ballroom dancing and making them realize that they are in charge of their own physical wellbeing through the choices that they make everyday.
Body Arts Consultancy is the culmination of 30 years spent studying and exploring dancing is every shape and form. The realization that she needed a medium where she could reach more people on a daily basis brought about BAC. It will reach out, to inspire people to live healthier, happier lives through functional movement, positive thoughts and spiritual awareness.
