Meet the Salsa Massima Team...
Hi!
I am Romana Motlova, originally from Czech Republic, living in London about 6 years. When did I start dancing? Well my parents have been dancing all their lives so naturally I became a part of it .
I was trained as a Ballroom & Latin-American dancer with Ballet basics. All through my career I entered many competitions and I have been a part of hundreds of shows. Since I was fifteen years old, I have been teaching and making choreography's for couple's and also for performing groups. After coming to London I discovered salsa and fell in love with it. I joined the Diablo Dance Company, Leon Rose dance project. One of my dance partners was Miguel de Portorico. I had a great time teaching and doing shows together with him. My new dance partner in Sam Mr Sleek.
I am sure you will enjoy the lessons. See you on the dance floor....!
Michelle & John both found Salsa in the very sexy Summer of 1999, and instantly became special friends. Four years later, in the hot sizzling Summer of 2003, they became husband and wife. Michelle fell into teaching when asked to help out at Salsa South after only nine months of dancing salsa and been teaching ever since. Together Michelle and John formed Latino Passion Salsa Club and became qualified UKA instructors. Always looking for challenge, they set up another new business, their own shop called: Dance Store UK. Here is their mission statement: " We aim to be the biggest and the best dance store offering competitive prices on a wide variety of dance products. we want to be the dance shop that you think to visit first! We want to provide you with everything you need and everything you don't realise you need!!
I've been dancing ballet, tap, modern, jazz, disco, and street since the age of 4 and loved it so much I wanted to teach. I achieved my teaching qualification in 2002.
Even though I've been dancing for years, I was only introduced to salsa 3 years and have been teaching for 11 months now with both Salsa Massima and Salsa South. I love to learn new techniques to enhance my teaching style and I'm always looking for different ways to make salsa fun whilst learning.
I was first introduced to salsa when I was 17 and since then I fell in love with the dance, the culture, the people and the atmosphere!
Within about 3 weeks of first starting salsa I was doing it 4 night a week across various venues in Kent & London. After two years of learning I was then given the opportutnity to teach beginners and improvers at my first venue; since then I never stop to learn, to teach and to dance.
4 Years on from when I started I would say my style is a cross between Cuban and L.A. with a mix of hip-hop as flare.
