Kevin Brennan
Director & Senior Dance Instructor
Originally from Ireland's west coast. I began dancing with a focus on Breakdance and Freestyle. I later joined my university's breakdance crew & even taught it for years, continuing through my master's in Scotland. My love for Salsa & Bachata began during travels in South America in 2016. After returning to Ireland, i trained at DSA & quickly rose through the ranks. With a sharp eye for detail, high energy, and a fun teaching style, I'm now a Senior Dance instructor & Director of DSA.

Yuliia Shynka
Senior Dance Instructor
From an early age I developed a deep passion for music and explored a wide range of dance styles building a solid technical foundation. In recent years, I focused on Latin dance, and further developing my skills at the Dublin Salsa Academy. This experience has not only enhanced my own dancing but also sparked a strong desire to help others learn and grow their dance journey. I believes that dance is a powerful form of expression that connects people beyond words. 💃🏻

Camila Gonzalez
Dance Instructor
I’m half Argentine and half Spanish, and dance has been part of my life since I was four. Now based in Dublin, I continue exploring my path through movement and artistic expression. I trained in ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop, completing my Royal Academy of Dance examinations in London by age twelve. Over time, I expanded into classical ballet and Latin styles such as flamenco, salsa, bachata, and cumbia. For me, dance is emotion, precision, and connection.
Juliane Alves
Dance Instructor
My dance journey started in a Brazilian folklore group. A few years later, I took my first bachata class in Gran Canaria, Spain — I completely fell in love! I then explored Cuban salsa and salsa in line. In April 2025, I joined DSA, and a few months later I became an assistant, beginning a new chapter of deeper learning and supporting others through their dance journey.
Karina Camilo
Dance Instructor
I started my dance journey in 2024. At first, I didn’t have much time to take classes, as I was busy with other projects, but I’ve always been passionate about dance, so I kept going to socials whenever I could. In early 2025, I began attending regular classes at DSA, and my love for dance quickly grew. By July, I joined the team as an assistant teacher. I’m excited to keep learning, teaching, and sharing what I know, while growing as both a dancer and a teacher.
Laura Adorni
Dance Instructor
Originally from Italy, I bring over 15 years of classical and contemporary dance training to the Dublin Salsa Academy. With a strong foundation in ballet and modern dance, I spent four years teaching children and teens. In 2017, I discovered salsa and bachata and quickly fell in love with Caribbean rhythms. Since then, I’ve performed across Italy and, since 2020, I’ve been teaching salsa and bachata with a focus on musicality and elegance.
Loke S
Dance Instructor
I’ve been a bathroom dancer since day one, but my journey took a turn when I fell in love with Bachata Sensual. My roots are in the vibrant, rhythmic world of South Indian Kuthu, but my heart was captured by the flow of Bachata Sensual in 2022. If you see someone randomly dancing on the sidewalk with a huge smile—that’s probably me. I live for the "aha!" moment when a complex step suddenly clicks. I’ve always wanted to teach, and now I’m here to help you find your own groove. Let’s dance🥂

I have been born in Albania and raised in Greece. I began dancing almost 3 years ago, here in Dublin. From the moment that I start latin dance I fell in love with it.

And still continue learning and sharing ✌️✌️

She has competed in numerous afro-latin competitions and was also a part of her university's dance crew. When she isn't dancing she's either swimming or gaming.

Jocelyne Simao
Dance Assistant
Dancing has always been an essential part of my life! Grew up dancing Kizomba because of my Angolan background. Started learning to dance Bachata at the start of 2025 and delighted I did. Passion for dancing has grown, have met some incredible people in the community and learned from amazing teachers! Look forward to learning more, teaching and sharing that with others!
Zeineb Mhiri

Born from the streets of South America during a year of solo travel, my passion for dance grew through culture, rhythm, and connection. I later refined my craft after relocating to Ireland and training at DSA.

Administration
My dance journey began in kindergarten, where I was dragged into ballet classes. At 6 years old, drawing pictures of cars suddenly seemed way more exciting. Fast forward 23 years, I got pushed into the bachata scene… and this time, I actually fell in love with it. Been part of the team ever since. Red wristbands, folks!
