When I started to dance salsa, I had two left feet, but I felt in love with it. After a few years, to challenge myself, I decided to try other styles of Latin dances (such as merengue, bachata and cha-cha). To push myself even further, I started to perform in various salsa events in North America. Wanting to expend my dance repertoire, I took some classes in other Canadian cities and in the US with my girlfriend and partner in crime, which led to the creation of our group the Blackanese Mambo Dance team in 2009; And, we have been performing all over North America since then.Now, I am still taking various dance classes, such as Afro-Cuban, Ballet, Ballet Jazz, Ballroom, Guinean Dance, Hip Hop, Reggaeton and Salsa (on1 and on2) with great teachers from all over the world.Another passion of mine is fitness! I've been doing sports all my life like soccer, volleyball, badminton, boxing, kickboxing and all kind of martial art.Zumba combine my two passion: Dancing and Fitness. I'm a certified group fitness instructor, a certified personal trainer and licensed Zumba instructor. I love teaching Zumba and other fitness classes and every class feels like a party! You don't even have to know how to dance. Just move your body and follow my lead. It's easy, you'll see what I mean!Come join me, in one of our  Latin dances or fitness classes dance like no one is watching and lose yourself in the music.
