About us

Our main aim is to give you Salsa classes in a fun and friendly environment; we have achieved this and more with our reputation for fun and friendly Salsa nights going far and wide!

We teach any age range, from 18 upwards! (I teach children and teenagers as part of my private work and events)

Most people turn up by themselves, though we have couples and groups of friends too. Anyone that turns up by themselves is quickly made to feel very welcome and part of the group.

We pride ourselves in producing some of the best dancers in Bristol and the South West who in turn help our new beginners start on their dancing journey.

Anyone that wants to learn to dance we will teach!

I started dancing Salsa in 2001, dancing Salsa twice a week for the first year and fast built up to three and four times a week, (have now hit a record 8 times in one week!). My Salsa dance style has been influenced by my early encounters with Nigel May, a funky street style.

From my first few years dancing Salsa to present, I have learnt fantastic moves with teachers such as Nicolai and Helena, Mauricio, Moe Flex, Nico Valiente, Gary & Jayne, Lee Hunter, Marchant Birch and many more.

I started learning and dancing Bachata (Italian style) in 2004 (self taught) also with classes from Tony Lara and now continue to learn the Dominican & Spanish styles of Bachata too.

In 2005 my development as a Salsa dancer and then teacher grew dramatically, concentrating on dance technique with teacher Andy Witt from Cardiff. Thanks to him my Salsa dancing has been taken to a whole new level and has allowed me to become a more confident dancer and teacher. My Salsa dance style is predominantly cross-body (LA style) with a fun enthusiasm injected into every dance with more than enough stamina.

My teaching began on an informal basis in the Salsa clubs I danced in, helping beginners start off on a happy step and encourage them to come back again. I would always dance with anyone and everyone, my motto being ‘make each dance fun and special’. I give private classes for those who want one on one teaching (Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha Cha and Merengue). I also teach every Thursday in Cardiff for Andy Witt, where there are big crowds that attend the classes.

In my own Salsa classes I aim to teach Salsa in a fun and enthusiastic way concentrating on the basics/fundamentals of Salsa dance. I want to show people how easy salsa can be to learn and how much smoother it can be led and followed. Also most importantly, how much fun you can have with Salsa dance. I hope to see you soon for a dance or two. For private Salsa/Bachata/Cha Cha & Merengue classes or to learn some dance steps for your wedding dance email Stellan.
