******************** THE INSTRUCTORS*******************
Salem has recently returned from the enlightening Sensual Week 2017 in Cadiz; having had the opportunity to learn from a number of internationally-renowned dancers, he is looking forward to sharing his inspirations with fellow lovers of sensual bachata. Salem came from a background in hip hop (popping boogaloo) before he started his bachata journey in France, where he learnt mainly from Reda Dance. He moved to Australia in 2015 and has since established the popular tuesday bachata corazon night, where he teaches weekly with his dedicated team.
Kathleen has a background in gymnastics, jazz and modern dance. Years of pursuing asthetic sports has equipped her with flexibility, grace, and a strong sense of body-awareness. Her areas of interest include interactive following, body isolations and ladies styling. She is a guest instructor at bachata corazon.
