It's all about the dance
How my Dance Journey began!
My dance journey started back in 2000. I was holidaying in Barbados with 3 of my friends celebrating a birthday. Â One evening we went to a restaurant called Sweet Potato and within minutes the floor was filled with people dancing, ladies beautifully dressed and men leading them around the dance floor.
As my confidence grew and my circle of friends widened, I started to attend other salsa venues. I soon became a regular at Bar Latina in Tottenham, North London, and at the legendary Mambo City.
I have attended many salsa dance weekenders and congresses and have been lucky enough to travel to other countries all in the name of salsa. This has given me the opportunity to do classes with the likes of Eddie Torres, Angel Ortis, The Cobo Brothers and Super Mario.
My passion for dance is still as strong as it was when I first started dancing. I enjoy seeing people learning and having fun all at the same time.
