Eddie Hercules’s first experience with dance was from 2003-2008 when he began drumming in Afro-Haitian classes. During this time, Eddie gained the listening ear, the exposure, the passion, and the interest of afro-rhythms. It wasn’t until 2014 after he graduated college as an engineer that he could return to his passion. In September 2015 at the Toronto Kizomba & Bachata Festival, Eddie Hercules took his first Kizomba classes and from then on life was never the same. To date, Eddie Hercules travels to spread his passion teaching both nationally and internationally while he continues to collaborate top instructors from all over Europe and beyond. Founding The Kizomba Dance Alliance in 2017, Eddie also teaches weekly classes in the Bay Area, as well as organizes events supporting the growth of Kizomba and Urban Kiz in the San Francisco Bay Area.
