I attended my first salsa course in 1999 at Mälarsalens dance school in Stockholm. Dancing provided me with tremendous amounts of enjoyment but I didn’t continue dancing Salsa until 2005/2006 when I started dancing at Salsa Sabrosa. That which made me love salsa was the joy in the dance and all the nice people I met

The style that was most appealing to me was the Cuban dance style. Me and my friend started going as many extra courses as we could fit at Salsa Sabrosa. To learn quicker we also started practicing at home and going out to different Salsa clubs. After having danced for a couple of months I started dancing rueda in Rueda-Lund

During my dancing career I have been inspired by a number of different teachers. I have danced at salsa congresses in Stockholm and Gothenburg, danced for many different teachers at Salsa Sabrosa, Salsa Energia and during the last semester I’ve danced at Cuba Baila. I have been a member of the Sabrosa group with which we performed at, among other places, the Scandinavian Salsa Congress in Gothenburg. This was a fantastic experience

In January 2007 I went to Cuba on a salsa trip with Stine Ortvad. The trip lasted a little more than two weeks and during this time we practiced salsa, afro-cuban dances, rumba, cha cha cha and son daily. During the evenings we enjoyed the Cuban culture and went to concerts with many of the famous Cuban salsa groups

I have tried a number of different dances except for salsa, some examples are bugg, lindy hop, samba, different hip hop dances and just recently I started dancing tango. Since I was a child I have always been active in different sports. I have among other things practiced a number of different martial arts that have increased my coordination and agility. This has been a great help when learning to dance

I’m looking forward to being able to spread my joy and love for salsa to all the wonderful students at Salsa Sabrosa, see you at the course and on the dance floor!
