It was noticeable in our guest workshops with UnitedSalseros' group how much attention was placed on technique. UnitedSalseros instructors has done an amazing job training them.

“UnitedSalseros have the best and most comprehensive approach for dancing salsa in the world”

I have travelled to over 30 countries worldwide, and the best instruction for technique and style is in Toronto at UnitedSalseros. When Zoe wanted to learn salsa 4 years ago, I brought her to Teddy because he is the teacher I thought had the best communication skills & knowledge for spinning, leading and following, imagery, and style.  UnitedSalseros have a unique system for in-depth dance knowledge, and it should be a center for international level salsa instruction.”

“UnitedSalseros dancers aim to develop a well-rounded and balanced approach to dancing”

For several years now, I have had the experience to work and dance with, as well as observe, dancers coming out of the UnitedSalseros training methodology. UnitedSalseros dancers aim to develop a well-rounded and balanced approach to dancing similar to the attitude displayed by excellent dancers of various dance disciplines I have observed in my extensive career as a professional dancer and teacher for more than 30 years. With well thought-through and multi-faceted dancing technique, their talent is brought out and blossom in exciting ways, which makes them interesting to watch as they develop into dedicated performers, instructors and social dancers.

“Their musicality makes them one of the best companies and group of instructors in Canada”

UnitedSalseros is the connection between music and dance. Their technique defines them as a balance between the qualities of movement that are needed to achieve a harmony within dance.  Teddy has created his own style to show salsa in a form that can be learned in a natural form; a system of communication within dance where different dances are fused and act as one.  UnitedSalseros are characterized by their originality and for making history within dance.
