Meet Our Instructors!

Colin
Founder - R&B Salsa Instructor
I first got into salsa in 2001 in Southampton — just watching at first, then dancing (badly!) before falling in love with it. By May, I launched Just Dance Salsa, running successful classes for over a decade. Though my background is in IT and business, I’ve since taught in Bournemouth, started BH Salsa, and still love helping others catch the salsa bug.

Nico
Salsa Instructor
Salsa started as a post-work hobby and quickly became a passion — I loved it so much, I launched Just Dance Salsa in 2001. Despite coming from an IT/business background, I’ve taught in Southampton and Bournemouth ever since, helping others fall in love with dance too.

Lesley
Salsa Instructor
I’ve danced everything from Rock & Roll to Ballroom, but salsa stole my heart around 2001 — bringing confidence, friendships, and pure joy. I’ve taught for Colin, run my own classes, and can’t wait to share the R&B Salsa vibe and everything I’ve learned along the way

Grace
Salsa Instructor
I grew up dancing salsa with my dad and started teaching at 16 — since then, I’ve taught across London, performed across Europe, and competed internationally. I’m passionate about connection, technique, and making sure everyone has fun while learning to dance.

Craig
Salsa Instructor
A lost bet got me into salsa in 2004 — and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve taught with Just Dance Salsa since 2005, with a focus on musicality, solid technique, and helping beginners feel confident (and laugh along the way!).

Danny
Salsa Instructor
Though I was born in Miami, it was moving to England that sparked my love for salsa and bachata. Dance has brought me joy, friendships, and community — and I truly believe anyone can learn and belong on the dance floor.

Amy
Salsa Instructor
I’ve been dancing salsa for over two years, and it’s done wonders for my confidence, fitness, and social life. It’s more than just steps — it’s fun, friendly, and a great way to meet amazing people.

Alessandra
Salsa Instructor
I’ve danced since I was four — from ballet to ballroom, and eventually to my true love: salsa and bachata. With 20+ years of dance, international experience, and a joy-filled approach, I’m here to help you learn, grow, and have a blast on the dance floor.
