In 1997 with my dance partner Marcela Moraes we formed our group DancaLatina. Since then we have established ourselves with all the main Latin dance companies and venues in London , as principle performers and Instructors.
A strong background of 12 years experience in Martial Arts, competing internationally and being a qualified Physical Trainer, has helped me to create a very dynamic and physical style.
Renowned for our flexibility and body movement we aim to maintain the authenticity of Latin dance with a little bit of theatrical style thrown in.
I'm now based in Cardiff, capital of Wales with my new dance partner Lucy Power. With a strong background in dance and as an international athlete Lucy brings a strong and sensuous presence to the dance floor.
