INSTRUCTORS |
Brigitte and Franklin
www.salsacrazy.co.uk
Teaching On1 and On2 and Ladies Styling
Dance has always been part of Brigitte’s life, having spent most of her teenage years dancing ballet, jazz and rock‘n’roll… her parents encouraged her to study more, but twinkle toes knew better. Franklyn, her dance partner got into salsa purely by accident. He went to a club, admired this dance and never looked back. He started with Cuban style then LA On1, and now New York On2.
Brigitte and Franklyn have a proven record in helping students develop their dance skills and tailor their lessons to suit their students ability. Their classes are fun, funky and very popular. They don’t take themselves too seriously so you always have a laugh while learning fun moves and footwork. With Franklyn’s unique jazzy style and Brigitte’s french flair they never fail to excite. |
