In Cuba, Leandro made his living as a professional dancer, performer and choreographer. His passion for dance began in childhood, and his dance training began when he was 8 years old. He graduated with distinction from 7 years of study with a leading Havana dance company which is renowned for it’s breadth of teaching and emphasis on the performance arts. Leandro attained teaching qualifications after 2 more years of study and has taught and performed in all the Cuban dance forms; salsa, son, cha cha cha, rumba, afro and of course, reggaeton.
This positive energy has made Leandro a firm favourite at Salsa congresses and Weekenders.
Leandro has taught at many Salsa feel the heat events and it is a great pleasure to have him back with us once again.
