Salsa & Bachata: From Zero to Hero in the Canary Islands

by

This is how I learned to dance Salsa and Bachata in the Canary Islands. It was a 4-week-workshop in a stunning outdoor location by the waterfront.

Taken during the performance "Oh What A Show" on 8th December 2019 at LAMDA.  Hayley Bowman, Kelsey Williams, Nikole McGillvary, Navin Nair, Tamina Koehne-Drube, Becca Lam from left to right.

The male dancer next to her points towards her with his right arm.
