Salsa Contigo´s DJs and Performers

For several years Ozy has trained many talented dancers in hip-hop and worked with some of the biggest artists all over the world through his different experiences as a professional dancer. In 2001, he was crowned World Champion in Street Dance. Since then, he is widely respected globally within the Hip Hop scene: He has danced in several musicals and French television programmes including "Gone With the Wind", "The 10 Commandments", "Star Academy", and also alongside international stars including Eminem, Destiny's Child, Jay Z, and many other artists music videos and on stage.

When he discovered Salsa he felt he had a real connection and passion for this dance. Today, Ozy is one of the rising stars of Salsa and he still continues his hip-hop career doing workshops and being invited to many different projects around the world.

With Deuce, the Salsa scene was exposed to a musical and artistic diversity marked by an urban style. Since 2005 Ozy’s choreographies reflect the variety of dance styles learned during his career: hip hop, jazz, contemporary, African, Zouk, dance-hall, mambo both on1 and on2, cha cha cha, etc…

Dani K

Dani is one of the new innovators in the salsa scene. One could say that dancing with Dani allows you to discover another way to appreciate salsa dancing. His main quality is finding different ways to explore the unlimited possibilities to lead and make his partner comfortable whilst interpreting the music.

From the French Indian ocean’s island (Mayotte), Dani started dancing on stage at the age of 11, and grew up with R’n’B, Hip hop and Zouk, singing and dancing. He started dancing Cuban salsa 6 years ago in Bordeaux. After 6 months, his teacher asked him to join his salsa company, after one year he became a salsa teacher in the same club where he'd learnt his first steps, and after two years he formed his first salsa group, including his first teacher ;-)

Dani is just one of those young dancers who always looks forward to learning. One of his favorite quotations is : “Dance is like knowledge, the more you learn the more you realize that you have a lot to learn again and again”. Dani is now widely recognized in the Paris salsa scene for his abilities. From February 2008 he decided to start a new life in London and become a salsa teacher as well as a choreographer, performer and DJ. His classes and workshops have always been very popular and professional, specializing in Mambo (on1 & on2), amazing partnerwork technique, leading, timing class, and musicality, blended together with his background of street dance, New York, Cuban, LA style, and fun to create his own unique salsa style.
