Meet your class instructor Emma

Emma has been teaching salsa in the centre of Swansea for the last 12 years!  In this time, she's gained invaluable, on the job  experience to be able to help all sorts of learners, putting them at ease and making them feel welcome and included in this magical group setting.  She has an extraordinary intuitive skill at reading what people need in the moment to put a smile on their face and forget about everything else that may be going on and relax and have fun.

When asked where this comes from she said,

"I wasn't a natural dancer, in fact I was the worst beginner in the room but I think this is what helps me teach.  I'm from Llanelli and wasn't born with a Cuban rhythm in my blood and natural flow to my hips, so I can completely empathise with any awkward learners.  I didn't study Ballroom and Latin or anything like that, I took the plunge and rocked up to an evening social dance class just like my students, without knowing anyone or what to expect. I soon got hooked.  My Salsa journey has been one of the best experiences of personal growth in my life.  I've met so many amazing people and made such wonderful friends.  I'm proud of all my dancers, we've created a safe space where everyone is welcome and feels included.
