Guillermo has always been a music lover, since he was a child he used to spend time learning to play piano and guitar, developing his musical senses and rhythm.

He liked to dance at parties but it wasn't until his encounter with salsa and bachata that he fell completely in love with dancing. After joining a dance academy in Mexico he never stopped learning and spending time in social dances. 
He trained salsa and bachata in Mexico for 1.5 years before leaving his entire life as an Engineer and deciding to move to Dublin for new experiences. From his very first day in the city, he went to a DSA class and social dance and had a good connection with people and the DSA environment.
His best attribute is to lead his partner in a light and relaxed way, enjoying the music and forgetting about everything else.

Valentina who is originally from Sicily, Italy, started developing an interest in Latin music during her years of secondary school at the Art Institute where she graduated.
In 2015 while working as an entertainer in a 4-star resort in Italy she was performing on stage and while having fun dancing salsa and bachata she realized how much she loves the music, the dance and just being a part of this joyful and energetic world.
When she moved to Ireland, in 2016 and eventually to Dublin she finally had the opportunity to practice all summer during social dance events until Valentina's potential was noticed by the founders of Dublin Salsa Academy.  She was offered an opportunity she couldn't resist to train and start the journey of developing her skills to become a dance instructor. 

Music has been running through her veins since she was born. At school, she learnt different dances and to play typical instruments of her homeland, such as the Galician dance and the tambourine.

At the age of 9, she began her Latin world, taking classes for a year in Cuban Salsa, Line Salsa, Cha-cha-cha and Bachata.

It was at the age of 20 that she returned to the dancing world and discovered Salsa On2 and Kizomba. She loves to dance any style because it is what makes her feel so happy and alive!

Born in Turkey, Bilge's interest in dance started during her university years when she joined the school's swing dance group in 2013. After moving to Istanbul for business life, she started going to Latin dance nights. That's when she realized her interest in salsa and bachata. She joined Berkan's class as a student in 2019. With this, she started to attend dance festivals.

Apart from her interest in social dancing, her interest in ladies' styling increased. Bilge started to take solo lessons from very successful teachers in the field of dance in Turkey. Before coming to Dublin the first thing Bilge researched was dance schools. Shortly after moving to Dublin, Berkan joined the DSA team, and so she found the best place to continue her passion for dancing. And not long after Bilge proved to be a great addition to the team at DSA.
