Latin Dance Teacher: Silvio Croce

Born in Italy, Silvio studied ballet and jazz in some of Tuscany’s most prestigious dance schools. He soon discovered an overwhelming passion for Latin dance rhythms and switched his focus to Caribbean dancing, where, using techniques acquired from his background, Silvio brought his own unique spin to Salsa. In 2003 he became a dancer of the Cubalia Caribbean Dance company and performed in theatres, clubs and at many events around Italy for 4 years. Silvio’s love for dance and his talent for inspiring that same love in others eventually led him into teaching. Having trained with top-line Salsa instructors and having taught classes for several years, he is now bringing his diverse experience to the UK.
