SALSA WITH SILVIA

Dancing became a passion for life when at the age of 6 Silvia’s mom took her to a folk dance class for the first time. Quickly grasping the steps and becoming one of the best in the group, Silvia started traveling with the dance troupe. At the different showcases, she saw other dances and performances and one grabbed her attention as a much more elegant and dynamic style. At 12 Silvia became a ballroom dancer and competed and taught both Latin and Standard International styles for 8 years. While ballroom dancing provoked the competitive drive in her, Silvia got tired of all the rules and regulations of ballroom dancing. Then she discovered salsa in a Washington, DC club where she was dazzled by the amazing moves and passion that the dancers were showing off with. Silvia joined a DC group called Latin Motion and soon after that she was touring and performing as a lead female dancer. With Latin Motion Silvia has performed at some of the largest salsa showcases in the World such as the LA, Puerto Rico and New York Salsa Congresses. Along with that Silvia has always enjoyed teaching others the skill called dancing. She believes that those who dance are the happiest. Dancing fills up her life with joy and passion. Seeing others learn her moves is the biggest reward for years of hard work. Silvia is extremely passionate about her dancing and her classes are easy going, filled with humor, jokes, and of course great music and fun moves. Currently living in Chicago, Silvia is teaching salsa and available for private instruction as well.
