Visual artist based in Brussels, Ornella Mickie is also a dancer, performer, and teacher of Lindy Hop and Jazz. Deeply inspired by Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, the Harvest Moon Ball, Spirit Moves, and vintage films featuring the great African American masters, she also draws strength and inspiration from the women of jazz in the 1930s, such as Consuelo Harris and Mable Lee.With a background in gymnastics and tango, she found in Lindy Hop a space where rhythm, theatricality, and personal expression come together. Ornella is a member of the jazz performance troupe The Old Soulz, and performs and teaches both in Belgium and internationally.As a teacher, she is committed to sharing her passion through a mix of technique, challenge, joy, and individual creativity—always honoring the cultural roots of the dance she loves.INSTA : @ornella_mickie
