Fun Fab Fit

Where there is a party and you need people to get up and dance, I can get the party going. I'm fun, cheerful, excited, and enjoy challenges. I am willing and able to instruct individuals on the styles of Salsa, Cha Cha, and Bachata, and I keep the party moving for as long as 3 hours alone and with a partner as long as 5. I will show up promptly and will be ready to go on time. With an established agreement I won't leave until the party has ended. I'm helpful and will work with you to make sure your function, party or event is a success. There isn't any job too small that I won't enjoy.

I'm a Salsa on 2 instructor who specializes in beginners to advanced beginners. I teach several private salsa classes a week, from Rockland County NY to and Bergen County NJ. My classes are for teens to adults and are located at studios in NY and NJ- #SalsaliciousBaby. Monthly on Sundays I host/promote/teach a Latin dance party. For specialty events I can host, promote, and teach, i.e birthdays, anniversaries, Hispanic Heritage Month, fundraisers, weddings, etc. We are celebrating over 10 years at hosting, promoting the #salsalicious_baby brand!!! My private students age range is from 5 and up.

I am an accomplished professional and created Fun Fab Fit to encourage my clients to have fun while getting fit. I have combined calisthenic training with my love of Salsa on 2. I will not sacrifice integrity for growth and will continue to manage and retain my business by establishing strong, proactive, collaborative relationships with my clients, treating them as true partners. Education attained at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Katherine Gibbs, W.I.T.S, Zumba, and Afro Cuban Salsa.

Salsa Music stemmed from Black slaves who were brought to Cuba from such tribes as Nigeria, Congo, Liberia, and Senegal. From peasant music of the 1800's to the form of music we listen to today, there was an evolution that started in the 30’s, and New York Puerto Ricans changed it into Salsa (the Sauce) which is derived from Afro Cuban music. The sauce that remains today from the 1800's is the clave (a sound that blends all the instruments together through a beat, created by either the bass or the conga). In Puerto Rico they had a dance called the seis (six steps) which is danced to a European musical 8-beat scale. The Salsa dance today is a combination of African, Cuban, and Puerto Rican influences of pure joy. The lyrics that many of the songs are influenced by are the celebration of life, love, and the request for equality between all classes of people.

FYI: the unverified reviews are from lessons, parties or gigs I’ve been hired, performed or booked outside of GigSalad.

I'm no diva and don't demand. I only require we work from a contract. However I will need a little lighting that's just enough so I can see where I'm going and those I'm teaching, as well as a smooth surface to dance (no carpet or tile flooring). My services range from bringing my iPhone to set up via blue tooth speakers that belong to to a DJ. If this is a private lesson with no DK, I’ll bring the speaker.

Once the contract is signed by both parties, and we’re set on what is to be expected from each involved, the event is a go!!
