Karin, Miss Latin K
Salsa Dance Teacher / Promoter / Manager
The founder of Latin Krazy,
I wanted to have a team of teachers that are diverse in their styles,
and teaching, and are good with people, and with this team I have achieved that.”
A
teacher and promoter now for 20 years, I love teaching Salsa,
I remember
being a student and the buzz I got out of each class, I've got a passion
for Salsa dancing and now want to pass it on. Not only is great to dance but
also keeps you fit and you make a lot of friends, many of my closest friends
are all from my work in the Salsa scene.
My first Salsa congress in
Washington DC really opened my eyes, they really know their stuff and
have such fun with dancing, to watch dancers from all over the world come together was great but especially the Latino dancers as they dance with heart and soul , we are at least 5 years behind here, I learnt not to care about people watching but to be in the dance and
just hear the music , from then I have loved every single minute.
I have since danced in many countries around the world from Paris to Madrid , Hong Kong and Brasil, Italy, Cuba, Mexico , Dominican Republic, Eygpt and more.
Karin

I love the whole Latin Scene , as part of my work I am manager at Salsa ! and one of my jobs is to bring the best Latin entertainment to the club, be it Dj's , Live Bands or Dance Shows, We have a multitude of talent in the UK.
