Javier Salort-Rios, CFT
Founder of SALSAlort(TM), Javier has been dancing for over 21 years. His approach to dance education is one which builds community and promotes individual growth. Building a Company without limitations, Javier teaches members to dance in all the major styles. "On1", "On2" ... "OnW"(TM) ... our trademark!!! We dance "OnWhateva'"(TM)!
His dance education started as a youth at a Ballroom studio, quickly favoring Swing and Mambo. Just a few years later, Javier "picked up" traditional Salsa, learning a number of styles.
Javier is a member and international instructor of the world renowned, New York based Razz-M-Tazz Dance Company.
Javier is also a Certified Fitness Trainer and creator of the original SALSA!Workout(TM). As a trainer, he works with Youth Programs, Senior Programs, Programs for Special Populations (ie. Chronic Diseases, Latino, Pre-natal / Post-partum, etc.)
The SALSAlort(TM) Style
A melding of Street, Cuban, Puerto Rican, LA, Miami and New York styles, the SALSAlort(TM) Style is unique, exciting, fun, yet controlled and smooth. It is more about feeling than choreography.
Javier specializes in "smooth" New York Style Mambo ("On2, traditional timing with sharp turn patterns) yet teaches both "On1" and "On2".
Beside Salsa ...
... SALSAlort(TM) offers courses and workshops in Rueda de Casino, Bachata, Merengue and Cha-cha. |
