Nathaniel Ostashewski - Folkdance Hardcopy Resume

I currently teach in a High School in Northeastern Alberta, Canada and when not at school I can either be found behind a computer or video camera, playing with my children, dancing in a studio, or planning my next video or multimedia project with my wife... ....and on some sunny days I even get out to the lake and do some SkySki Hydrofoiling (an extreme watersport).
