Imagine a World Where You Could Dance

I mean, REALLY dance.

Not just muddle through a few steps, and then slink back to your drink to:

a) Hide your embarrassment,

b) Pluck up more dutch courage to have another go later, whilst

c) Secretly admiring but hating those with all the moves and – even worse – the audacity to use them.

Imagine it was YOU with the charisma, and the smooth moves, and when you got up to steal the show, you were so in the moment that you never stopped to care about what anyone else was thinking.

Maybe you’ve thought about this before…and then quickly dismissed the idea.

Because…it feels so far out of your comfort zone that it makes your stomach lurch violently and twist itself into a knot.

But if you’ve enjoyed watching others dance, and been inspired or even envious, then I’m here to tell you that it’s not an impossible dream or a ridiculous idea.

Even if that’s what you sincerely believe right now.

You Probably Don’t Think You’re A Dancer

And that’s ok!

(No one really does when they start out).

But maybe you LOVE the idea of being able to dance for a few different reasons:

You’d love to be carefree and throw caution to the wind.

You’d love to feel more comfortable with putting yourself “out there” and to be more creative and expressive.

You’d love to feel proud of your body so you didn’t feel the need to hide it, or blame your age for the bits that aren’t looking or feeling quite how you’d like.

You’d love to lose the inhibitions so you can move to music and have fun – without worrying about what anyone else is thinking OR needing half a bottle of vodka first.

“But That’s Just Not Me”, I Hear You Say

I get it!

It wasn’t me either.

And this brings me to a very important point where many people take a wrong turn.

Because they don’t see their own possibilities, and because their own internal identity and beliefs aren’t clearly defined, they crumble under the weight of their own expectations and judgement from those around them.

And in doing so, they feel increasingly inadequate and incompetent.

In trying to be someone else, they lose themselves.

Sometimes, the more successful we are in our main areas of expertise and established in our personal life, the harder it is to break out of these patterns and roles.

This makes it really hard to re-create and re-define ourselves for our own growth and fulfilment…ESPECIALLY if this is due to a change of circumstance such as divorce, bereavement or retirement.

Don’t Lose Yourself In The Crowd

If you’re reading this, you are probably NOT the type of person likely to rock up to a mainstream Salsa club to dance with a bunch of random sweaty strangers. 

And that’s ok as well.

You don’t want to be just another face floundering around at the back of the class feeling like a fish out of water.

That’s how I started – and I HATED it!

And in all likelihood it’s an approach which you’ll hate too, meaning you won’t suffer it for very long.

That’s assuming you even reach the starting blocks.

(The vast majority of people don’t)

It Doesn’t Have To Be That Way

There are faster, easier and much less stressful ways to learn Salsa dancing!

I always knew there were people – like me and like you – who wanted a personalised experience with a standard of depth, detail and delivery which couldn’t be found in mainstream dance classes…or even in typical private lessons.

This is what I’ve created:

It’s a sophisticated – but in many ways simpler – passage to your dance goals which will deliver far less stress, much more enjoyment and fulfilment, and a much higher return overall for your investment of time, effort and money.

This is my “Find Yourself” Signature Salsa System.

I’ve created three unique programmes around this system.

These programmes deliver what I call “Dance Transformations by Design”.

NOTHING is left to chance and the results extend way beyond just learning to dance.

What Is a Dance Transformation?

It’s a carefully crafted coaching programme which will help you to reach not only your dance goals, but ALSO enable you to address other challenges as well, PRIMARILY those which get in the way of you feeling certain and purposeful about your dance journey.

For example:

• Bodyshape insecurities
• Confidence and self-belief
• Relationships and social challenges
• Short term gratification hijacking long term goals

 If you’ve read that list and thought to yourself, “Wait…these are the same things which have been holding me back in other areas of life too”, it’s probably no coincidence.

Those same programmes, patterns and default behaviours reach like tentacles, wrapping around our innermost dreams and desires and strangling them.

In other words, the challenges we have to navigate in dance can exactly mirror the challenges we face in our everyday lives.

Life Is a Dance and Dance is Life

The truth is that learning to dance can be an extremely powerful agent for change – but only when people get out of their own way for long enough.

In other words, you need to remove the internal roadblocks which are stopping you.

Here’s why this is so important:

Because they usually manifest as EXTREME self doubt, a horribly judgemental inner critic, and/or what many people term “self-sabotage”.

And this is dangerous because it stops you from even getting started, let alone seeing your own potential.

If you often seek refuge in habits, behaviours and addictions which are diametrically opposed to the things you say you actually want, chances are this is ALREADY a problem for you.

Yep…The Biggest Challenge Is Between The Ears

Not the feet, as most people believe!

The fear of messing up, looking stupid or failing, and the fear of what others might think or say is a powerful inhibitor, in dance AND in life.

It deprives us of the freedom to express ourselves, to be fully present in the moment, and to connect fully and authentically with others.

It keeps us imprisoned, playing out roles which others define, and missing out on experiences which would make life more fun and fulfilling.

And so we feel stuck believing that we are not good enough, cool enough, attractive enough, extrovert enough to be able to fulfill our innermost dreams and desires.

And if that wasn’t enough…THEN we just stop trying.

And miss out on meeting the people, building the relationships that create the opportunities which bring with them OPTIONS.

So MY programmes start off by helping you become the person who DOES do those things.

To help you see your potential, feel comfortable in your own skin, and be ready to experience life on a whole new level.

How Can A Dance Programme Fix All That?

I’m glad you asked!

Sounds like a grossly over-inflated claim, I bet.

But here’s why I can boldly make it: 

My coaching programmes have extra tools and ingredients beyond just steps and moves. These set them apart from typical mainstream dance classes and private lessons and are the “secret sauce” which facilitate dramatic, long term results.

These specialist tools are drawn from extensive training and experience in the fitness, exercise coaching and rehab sector – my full time profession before I chose to follow my true passion.

I use approaches rooted in neuroscience to help each client work through their particular sticking points – physical, mental, or emotional.

This means that my programmes work on a much deeper level.

There is a lot more to them than making you slavishly copy me through mind-bending, foot-frazzling chronological sequences of dance moves.

They are built to create a logical and seamless learning curve where everything is a natural progression – one where those internal blocks are easily dismantled by following a step-by-step process with a whole-person approach.

Read on to learn more about the unique structure of my Signature Programmes…

In modern industries, people are paid huge sums of money to figure out how to make processes and product manufacture simpler and faster – and easier for the consumer to get results with.

This can involve completely re-thinking an entire concept, and this is what I’ve been doing with my Salsa teaching for the past ten years.

One of my big realisations was that most classes promoted a consumption mindset, resulting in dancers who were only able to copy – not create.

They could copy ANYTHING in class – but fell apart on the dance floor where it really mattered.

They sacrified connection because they were trying to look cool

Worse, it was taking intolerable amounts of time to gain even a modest level of competence. 

Starting Strong

The first 20 hours are THE most crucial when it comes to learning any new skill as this is when the largest and quickest gains can be made.

This is why all my programmes start slow – which may sound like the OPPOSITE to starting strong – but is all about building strong foundations rather than blasting into the stratosphere only to find you forgot to double check the fuel level.

My programmes break the boundaries created by typical mainstream dance class formats with innovative approaches designed for driven, determined and self-motivated indivuals.

Seamless Learning Curve
