Chunky will tell you he is quite a shy person who really hides it well. You may never have guessed that when you see him on the dance floor. In his own words, " My passion for Salsa began many years ago when a friend took me to a Salsa club. I was mesmerised by the atmosphere, the music, and how everyone looked like professional dancers from that point on was hooked. Salsa has been revolutionary in my life, I've been privileged to have learned from some of the great Salsa legends, who have inspired me along my Salsa journey and inspiring me still. I've competed, performed, taught and DJed. Learning both Cuban and Cross Body, which they tell me gives my dance style a unique look and feel "
Chunky keeps his classes lively and fun, centring around breaking down even the most difficult moves, techniques and components into manageable Chunks (pun intended). Linking moves seamlessly to make them look and feel very fluid. Along with his cheeky (Caribbean) charm and bad jokes, you will also find him blocking the exit so you have to stay and dance at least a few tracks to practise what you have learned!
A few of you may know Chunky from previous events where he has performed with the Dance2Salsa show team. We are excited to have him teaching and DJ'ing for the first time at the Pier.
