Julian (Jules) has been 2 times Finalist in the UK Salsa Championships. He was
ranked number 10 in the United Kingdom Salsa Championships in 2001 before heading
off to the South West of France.
Julian has been learning Salsa since 1998 and been teaching in the UK since
2000. He learnt from some the UK's finest Salsa teachers and also from his numerous
trips to Colombia, New York and even Africa. He has conducted
classes for up to 2000 people at clubs, restaurants and Salsa weekends in the
UK, France, Spain, Holland, USA and South America and had weekly bookings for
demonstrations in London for groups ranging from simple weddings to the annual
parties of corporations such as IBM, Microsoft and Barclays bank.
Having been in the pressurised world of competition dance, Julian knows what
it takes to make a champion and has trained several of his students on a private
basis to take part in the UK open Salsa Dance Championships. His knowledge of
Latin music made him a sought after DJ for some of the biggest clubs in the
UK such as Bar Salsa, Havana and many private functions at London's top hotels.
Currently residing in the Dordogne Region of South West France he is teaching
his unique blend of Colombian, porto Rican, Cuban, New York and London styles
of salsa along with Merengue and Cha Cha Cha to the growing salseros in the
Region. He runs several succesful nights in both the Dordogne and Charente Regions
and is regularly contacted to do demonstrations for the Conseil General of both
the Charente and Dordogne, private dance schools and organisations wishing to
get a latin feel to their soirees.
He takes pride in his classes and his passion for this sexy latin dance shines
through into the relaxed and fun manner of his presentation and the amazing
ambience created for his students.
