Our team

Fun but a little crazy Salsa & Bachata teachers.

She is responsible for DanceDifferent being  a “like-a-boss” well organised school and not a hippie camp.

Richie

Once upon a time, Richie broke off a chain and went running wild around the world. Currently he found a comfortable corner in DanceDifferent. We are all grateful for his radiant energy and technical teaching enthusiasm.

Shabby

Yaros

Founder of DanceDifferent and winner of National Cuban Salsa Championship. Yaros is our head Salsa teacher, he loves great warm-ups, languages, remembering peoples names and going to bed earlier than he ever manages to.
