Elena Lirakis

My name is Elena Lirakis and my love for dance and movements began in the first year of grade school, when my gym teacher inspierd me to dance classical ballet in her dance group. After a couple of years of ballet I felt it was time to try other forms of dance. During the years I have danced and performed in rhythmic dance with Malmöflickorna, trained aerobics that contains a lot of coordination and movements and also I have taken several classes in Street Jazz.

During the last years I have always been curios on dancing salsa, which has a lot to do with the lovely music and the rhythms. I enrolled to a summer basic class in salsa for Jesse Shuja and Kicki Spirolis. Salsa was as energetic and lovely as I had imagined and it really felt as though I had found the right thing for me! During the summer I was out a lot and danced at salsa places in Malmo and Copenhagen

Throughout autumn I have been dancing advanced salsa for Jesse Shuja, Kicki Spirolis and Mikaela Sorle. I can really recommend to everyone to take up salsa, because the dance gives you so much happiness and energy!
