Ulises is one of the brightest and most talented Cuban Salsa stars on the UK Salsa scene. Ulises was a fantastic success at previous Summer Salsa Weekenders and its great that we have him back with us once again.
Ulises is equally at home teaching Salsa, Rumba and La Rueda.
Ulises was born in Havana, Cuba where his culture initiated his life-long dance experience. He initially trained for 4 years with ‘Tony Mendez' at The Cuban International Dance Company. He then went on to sing and dance at the Cabaret Tropicana's Show and the Cabaret Parisien which is the National Hotel of Cuba.
Then following an acting career on TV, Radio, Cinema and Theatre, Ulises turned his talent to teaching and has taught and performed alongside top teachers & entertainers from Cuba and indeed all over the world. Further, Ulises was part of the team that performed Cuban Rueda in the Guy Ritchie motion picture - Rock and Rola

Ulises has great charisma and his lessons are really good fun and is one of the brightest and most talented Cuban Salsa stars on the UK Salsa scene. His approach includes learning to use body language to tell the stories of the Cuban culture through the dance.
Ulises has previously taught at our Salsa feel the heat events and it is a great pleasure to have him back with us once again.
