Cuban born and raised in Los Angeles, I have been involved in the exciting dance of Salsa  for 12 years. I grew up with the great Salsa sounds of Celia Cruz and others always playing on the home record player. I started my Salsa dancing education with L.A.’s best Salsa instructor Hollie Lee and served my apprenticeship as her assistant for 5 years. My teaching style is based on proper technique, style and timing, but most of all having fun with the music and dance. The style I teach is L.A. style Salsa "On One.” A fancy style of Salsa that involves plenty of tricks and turns.

I have also trained with many great L.A. Salsa instructors and learned their own individual style of dancing and teaching Salsa including:

 

William Ochoa 
Miguel Aguirre
Juan Gil
Marco Antonio
Jesus Morales
Bob Elias
Stewart Kline and Sarai Farrant of “Rueda Madness”
Raul Falcon
Miguel Zarate & Kat Gannon-Negrete

Sergio "El Flako" Rojas

Alex Caicedo

Alejandro Rey & Sabrina Fair (Bachata)

Edie "The Salsa Freak"


Plus a few others.

 

I have been teaching Salsa privately for 7 years with over 550 private lessons taught and at least that many group classes while teaching for Body Groove Dance Fitness since early 2004. I have choreographed various Salsa performances and also performed with the Body Groove Dance Team. I have learned and teach various other Latin dances including Cha-Cha-Cha, Bachata, Merengue. I’m also a self trained Percussionist who loves playing the different Tumbao rhythms which is the driving beat of Salsa music. My love and passion of the music and dance is what keeps me excited about Salsa and it’s that passion and excitement that I try to teach my students.

 

See you on the dance floor!!!
