Salsara

Photo of SalsaraSalsara began her dancing career at a young age, competing nationally in the under-16s in Latin American and Ballroom. She began dancing Salsa over 10 years ago, quickly making her mark by featuring as a dancer in a British film and various Salsa instructional DVDs. She went on to perform, teach and represent the UK all over the world, in places as diverse as Sydney, Vienna, Dubai, and Argentina, as well as at the world-famous congresses of New York, Puerto Rico, Paris, Hamburg, Zurich, etc.
Salsara was one of the founding members of the famous London Sunday social, SOS, where she taught and performed regularly, including performances with the SOS team. She taught a highly popular weekly ladies’ styling class, and a regular ladies’ choreography group with Simone Mowen. She performed in partnership with Tamambo, and was one of the original members of Leon Rose’s performance dance group, performing globally with the dance company for several years. She also co-edited the 2-Mambo magazine, and established a ladies’ salsa dancewear retail business.
More recently, Salsara choreographed and produced a theatre-staged musical production in Santiago, Chile, incorporating Flamenco, Latin American and Salsa, to raise money for a national children’s charity. She also taught regularly throughout South America, including the Mendoza salsa congress in Argentina.
Having spent the last few years living in Madrid, where she broadened her dance experience with flamenco and tap, Salsara has just returned to London and will be joining the LDA team as an advanced Salsa and Mambo instructor
