Lee's career started at the age of eleven doing all types of dance including, Disco, Latin and Ballroom. At the age of fifteen he was ranked 2nd in the world as Junior (under 16) for Latin American. At eighteen, he was approached to move to Holland to compete again and to teach in one of the largest dance studios in Holland with over 1800 students. Reaching 2nd place in the National Dutch Championships Latin American discipline and 3rd place in the Ballroom discipline Lee was given the opportunity to represent Holland in the World championships, achieving a world ranking of 28th. After travelling as far a field as Eastern Russia, Denmark, Austria, Germany, France and Belgium, including appearances on Come Dancing and Dutch National TV, Lee returned to England in 1996 to continue to teach Ballroom and Latin. Lee started Salsa classes in Chesterfield in September 2000, making Absolute Salsa the first company to teach salsa in Chesterfield, since then many other teachers have followed. January 2008 saw Salsa classes start at Rollerworld Derby. Without doubt these classes became the busiest in the UK, one the biggest venues in the UK with a capacity of holding over 400 dancers at any one time during a lesson and still space to dance. Lee can be seen teaching all over the UK and Europe, his teaching style is relaxed and humorous; it's this approach that won him the accolade of UK's Top Salsa Teacher award 2007/2008. Lee's classes are split into 70% enjoyment and 30% learning.
