Latin Fusion Dance
About
Offering lessons on Salsa (On1), NY Mambo (On2), Bachata, Cumbia (Mexico City Style) and Argentine Tango.
My passion for Dance started when I was in my 17's I learned the modern free styles that were popular at the time. Then, I moved into Cumbia, all this in my native Mexico City, I moved in 1995 to Chicago and a bit after that started dancing for a known Dance studio and in several Dance companies of the area and eventually started to teach.
Being able to guide young follows and leads of all ages from something that they think is difficult to do, to actually doing it. Teaching is a rewarding experience no matter what.
