About Latin Dance Instruction
Why I Dance
I chase those moments on the floor when the music, the moves, and the laughter all just fit together. For me, Latin dance is about the vibe, not just the steps. After 14 years mixing DJing with teaching, I've seen that connection is what keeps people coming back. When you feel the joy, you get hooked, simple as that.
My Approach
I don't just count out the 1-2-3. I help you hear the Clave, the Cowbell, the Guiro - the parts of the music that make it alive. It's not about memorizing steps, but letting the rhythm guide you. If you want to learn how to play with the breaks in a song or make your dancing feel more expressive, that's what I focus on. Salsa musicality training is a big part of my sessions.
How We Learn Together
- Total beginners are welcome. I host chill, beginner Salsa workshops before social Latin dance parties, so you get to learn and then jump right in.
- For folks who want to level up, my classes cover partnerwork (think smooth connection), spins, shines, and styling. Bachata partnerwork drills are part of the mix.
- Private Latin dance lessons are available if you want personalised feedback or to fix a tricky move.
Styles I Teach
Mostly Salsa (On1, On2, Rueda de Casino), Bachata (Sensual, Tradicional), with some Kizomba and Jive thrown in. If you love Latin rhythms, you'll probably find your groove here.
Aaja yaar! (Come, friend!) Let's dance for the fun of it.
