ABOUT US
HISTORY
DUBLIN SALSA ACADEMY (a.k.a. DSA) WAS STARTED IN 2015 BY A GROUP OF DANCERS FROM DUBLIN LATIN DANCE SCENE. SINCE THEN THE SCHOOL HAS GONE THROUGH A COUPLE OF CHANGES AND SINCE THE MAJOR RESTRUCTURE IN SUMMER 2018 DSA IS AS YOU KNOW IT TODAY.
THE ACADEMY IS NOW RUN BY A WELL KNOWN DANCE COUPLE IN THE DUBLIN AND IRELAND DANCE COMMUNITY - ABEL & ALINA, BOTH BEING ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CO-FOUNDERS OF DSA.
DIRECTORS
THE DIRECTORS FIRST MET ON THE DANCE FLOOR IN DUBLIN.
THEY HAVE SPENT 4 YEARS TRAINING HEAVILY TO IMPROVE AND PERFECT THEIR TECHNIQUES.
A WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL SKILLS AND THE LOVE FOR ATTENTION TO DETAIL HAVE SHAPED THEIR PRIMARY FOCUS ON TECHNICALITY, EASY MOVES, AND A COMMON-SENSE APPROACH TO DANCING BASED ON SIMPLICITY AND A BASIC FOUNDATION.
THE TEAM
DSA FAMILY HAS GROWN TO A TOTAL TEAM OF 10 IN THE RECENT YEAR, ACQUIRING SOME GREAT & CHARISMATIC DANCE INSTRUCTORS AS WELL AS NEW TRAINEES.
THE TEAM TRAINS HARD EACH WEEK PUTTING IN EXTRA HOURS TO DELIVER FUN, YET KNOWLEDGEABLE DANCE MATERIAL WHICH IS FLUID THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS LEVELS.

AT DUBLIN SALSA ACADEMY, WE ARE PROUD OF OUR DANCE INSTRUCTORS WHO WORK HARD AS ONE BIG FAMILY, ALWAYS SUPPORTING EACH OTHER AND GROWING TOGETHER, NURTURING ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN THEIR DANCING JOURNEY.
