Hi, I'm Jacki!

Dance is a passion of mine since I was young, and I've been lucky to travel around the world dancing, competing, performing and judging Salsa & Bachata dancing.

I have been teaching dance since 2005 (over 19 years ago), to all walks of life. I love helping people figure out what teaching style works for them and how to work with their mindset and body movement abilities to help them be the best dancer/lead they can be.

Trained by world champions Oliver Pineda & Luda Kroitor.

Performed and competed with: Australia's best: Daniel Paredes & World number 2: Rodrigo Guzman.

Australian Salsa Championships – 3rd place (2009).
