About:
I have been teaching Salsa for about 24 years now and grew up listening to Salsa music in my native country, Colombia. I began my dance career performing Colombian folk dances and formed my own dance company Salsa y Control in 2003. I have traveled across the U.S and abroad teaching and performing at different Salsa congresses and events sharing my passion for Salsa music and dance.
I am passionate about teaching this style because…Dancing brings joy and happiness to the world and I believe EVERYONE should experience it!
