Norberto 'Betto' Herrera

Home of the Two Left Feet Podcast! My goal is to give a voice to amazing performance dancer's and instructors. A lot of times we only see them perform. But they have so much more than that to offer ! Performs and instructors have a voice, a story, and experience. They have tips/hints. Value to give to people outside of their amazing choreography. I just want to facilitate spreading their voice/story via podcast.
