.jpg) Dance,
culture and music – the three base elements of salsa. These
interconnected components are why salsa is so addictive and popular
around the world. Together they give salsa its contemporary
heartbeat; echo its profound history; and provide that infectious
energy. There are few salsa teachers worldwide who are able
to share with you their knowledge, understanding and respect of the
dance, culture and music of salsa, better than Alfonso Rios.
Born in Lima, Peru, Alfonso trained at the Conservatory of Music before having the great fortune to study under some of Peru’s best musicians in Afro Latin-American Music. He has had many years of international experience as a professional Latin Percussionist, most recently with New Zealand’s popular Batucada Sound Machine. This is only one side of the man though. Alfonso is one of New Zealand’s finest salsa dancers; his smooth, confident, playful style a trademark. Coupled with his many years of experience as a Salsa Instructor, and a natural desire to continually expand his knowledge, it is no wonder why Alfonso has quickly become such a highly sort-after Salsa Instructor and Judge throughout New Zealand. Alfonso is currently based in Dunedin, and
is the director of Latin Moves NZ. His students reflect his love and inspiration for
the dance, culture and music of salsa. Alfonso’s classes at
Latin Moves NZ will provide you with the opportunity to deepen your
appreciation, passion and enjoyment for salsa. Whether you
are new to salsa, or have years of experience, Alfonso will open
your eyes, ears and soul to that essence of salsa which you might
have been missing. |
