Instructor Bios:
Cedric stumbled across Salsa dancing whilst at university. Having attended workshops and congresses across the UK and beyond, he has learnt from many top teachers from around the world. Teaching a variety of Latin dances since 2011, he emphasises clear, precise learning and following technique, and mixes simple spins with more complex flicks and tricks to create an engaging array of moves that flow from one to the next. In developing a keen ear for Latin music, Cedric uses this to influence his dancing style, and enjoys DJing a range of traditional and modern music to get everyone up on the dancefloor!
Julie has been dancing salsa socially for many years and travels all over the country to learn from top international instructors. She has both taught and assisted with teaching all levels as both a leader and a follower. She is an IT trainer by day and has a teaching qualification. Having a BA (Hons) degree in Music she also has plenty of musicality!
