Amanda
Teacher & Performer

    A South Londoner born and bred, Amanda took
    her first foray into the world of dance at the
    tender age of three, studying ballet and tap until
    she was nine. But it was a few years yet before
    she got her very first taste of salsa when back in
    2001, under her mum's influence, she took her first
    salsa lesson and was immediately placed in the
    intermediate class!

    Amanda soon absorbed herself in the London
    salsa scene and sticking to her south London
    roots was a regular down at the Mambo Inn and
    Bar Lorca on Brixton Road, later gravitating up to
    the West End - Havana in Hanover Square
    becoming a regular Monday night haunt.

In 2004 Homero González, London’s original Cuban dance master,
approached Amanda and invited her to become a member of his
Cuban dance troupe and she dived into a world she grew to love –
the spectacular cosmos of Afro-Cuban dance. Still dancing with Salsa
Cubana to this day, Amanda regularly performs at the renowned
Floridita and Carnival De Cuba as well as many other clubs, events
and functions.

Anyone who’s seen Amanda’s breathtaking style and sabor on the
dance floor will understand why this is one element she’s keen to
transmit to her female students, knowing full well that a sense of
style and feeling in their body movement helps women to build their
confidence and enjoy dancing even more.

Amanda’s also a stunning reggaeton dancer, having danced at many
events and concerts, including with artists Leximan at the Don Omar
concert and MC Magico  at the Jazz Cafe and Carnival De Cuba.
