ABOUT SALSA LATINA UK AND ITS FOUNDER ANDY MOORE

Salsa Latina UK was first set up in 1997 by its founder Andy Moore after several years of dancing across the UK Salsa scene, Andy initially started salsa dancing in 1997 when he was inspired after seeing none other than Richard Marcel (Choreographer from Strictly Come dancing and SYTUCD UK) and his brother Paul Marcel at a Salsa concert in Crawley and started learning the following week.

After a years worth of training Andy branched out his training learning from instructors from all over the south of the UK and by 2000 was asked to teach with a local dance company. In 2001 then decided to go it alone setting up Salsa Latina UK based in horley where he taught salsa as a partner dance. After several month of running these popular classes he was asked to join the UK's biggest promoter at the time Salsa UK ran by Paul Young to be part of their teaching team. After 6 months he was teaching 6 evenings a week in Bromley, Croydon, Brixton and at major events across the UK.
