DAVID SMILE

With French and African heritage, and coming from a family of musicians & performers, David has grown up dancing. When he discovered salsa it was love at first sight.

After many years of training with well-known dance instructors in France, David became a teacher himself to share his passion for dance with others.

With over 14 years of experience as a teacher, David has taught and performed throughout France as well as at international dance festivals in locations such as Croatia, Morocco and Qatar.

Now settled in Australia, David continues to share his passion and teach Cuban Salsa, Kizomba, Bachata, Reggaeton and other latin dance classes in Melbourne and Geelong.

Christy Thomas

Christy’s dance journey took an unexpected turn in her mid-twenties. Intending to learn Tango, she instead discovered the music and energy of Salsa and was hooked! This ignited a passion over the years that led her to explore other Afro Latin dances, with Kizomba now vying for the top spot in her heart. Christy firmly believes in the power of social dancing to improve health and happiness in peoples lives. As a teacher, she is dedicated to creating a supportive and fun atmosphere where students can learn, laugh, and leave each class feeling uplifted and with a smile.
