About
I learnt from the best in 3 continents and over a large span of time, over 10 years. I owned a salsa school in Barcelona, Spain and taught thousands of international people in especially Spain and USA.
I speak Spanish fluently. My classes are always fun and I arrange so that the class is set for the level of people who attend.
I teach methodically and my students learn to dance and enjoy within a month confidently without having to memorize. First comes the basics, communication and musicality, then, comes the moves as the words and sentences of a beautiful language.
I owned dance schools, worked with the best in 3 continents and organized small to large salsa events mainly in Europe.
I love to teach in Miami since the latin culture is everywhere.
I teach private and group classes. You would learn much faster with private classes and twice a week is ideal for classes since the more frequent, the more learning.
Salsa is social so you don't need a partner. You also don't need any dancing background. All you need the will to learn and you will be enjoying salsa, merengue and bachata in no time.
Thank you!
I basically teach because I enjoy dancing and teaching salsa all my life. I see salsa as the most social universal language that one can enjoy anywhere in the world.
Salsa is an endless language and after many years of teaching and learning, I still can't get enough of it.
The description of salsa to me: It is an art and fitness form that you can do anywhere in the world. It is the body used as a musical instrument to share with the partner. It is the hobby that makes you friends instantly and that makes you smile the moment you start to dance.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Salsa is just like any other beautiful language or gym, you need to practice more than once a week to make it a natural feeling.
Salsa is fun. Your ambition needs to be getting better every time you take classes, but in the end, it is fun and not competition.
Salsa is the most social hobby you can learn. People smile and touch a stranger without a second thought with full trust. So, in this sense, salsa may be the most universal and warm language and the more you learn, the more you will enjoy!
