Salsa Dancer
Ask André what got him into salsa dancing and he'll answer like many others do: "Well, there was this girl. She danced. I didn't..." Years later the girl is out of the picture but the dancing stuck. Having played drums for years prior helped speed his learning, and being half Cuban, no wonder he landed in love with Cuban Salsa, Rueda de Casino. André's experience comes from years of classes, teaching and running the student Salsa club at UC Berkeley, teaching professionally with Rueda con Ritmo, and many performances. These days, he simply enjoys the energy of social dancing in salsa bars all over the world.
