Teacher profiles
Mandy and Pauline founded Solar Salsa in 2007 and have been teaching ever since.
Mandy excels in Cuban body movement. She frequently visits Cuba (home of salsa and 2nd home of Mandy) and thus embodies the latest moves and trends.
Pauline adores the group dance Rueda de Casino, has amassed a repertoire of moves and has been 'calling' Rueda for nearly two decades. She is a trained teacher and loves sharing Salsa joy with learners at every level.
Both Mandy and Pauline, as well as teaching all aspects of Cuban Salsa, have nurtured the dance community from a handful of dancers to an extensive caring, welcoming and fun-loving community who are a pleasure to teach. <3

Angelos is our newest teacher, who fell in love with Cuban Salsa and trained with dance teachers across the UK in Rueda De Casino, Son Cubano, Timba, AfroCuban e.g. Rumba, and sprinkles of other styles (from Cali, Cross body, Bachata).
He loves sharing the fun of Salsa dancing, Latin music, crazy Rueda patterns and Cuban sabor with our students.

Julie and James are superb Salsa and Kizomba dancers who have been teaching both dances for several years and are seen on dance floors throughout the region. They specialise in breaking down and explaining Salsa dancing technique in terms all can understand. They teach this way in all classes and at all levels, and excel at providing our advanced dancers with challenging and impressive moves. James is unable to teach every week at the moment, and Julie beautifully presents the 'Julie and James' spirit at all their classes.
