Some smooth moves on the dance floor brought Lenny and Natalia together. They met a few years ago, when Natalia was looking for a job as a ballroom dance instructor at Lenny’s studio. He hired her and she ended up becoming his professional ballroom dancing partner. Soon, they became an item. ⁠

“It wasn’t immediate. It was a progressive movement,” But we ended up becoming boyfriend and girlfriend,” explains Lenny, 36, owner of Camarillo Dance Studio.⁠⁠

During the pandemic the two still teach ballroom dance classes on Zoom and in outdoor spaces. Natalia, 27, says in Lenny she found more than just a dance partner: “Lenny is an awesome dancer, partner, and an awesome lover.”⁠
