Business Profile
Salsa Style was formed in 2003 in reponse
to a need for short Salsa Courses at Sydney University. Since formation,
Salsa Style has gone on to hold regular and highly popular courses
for Macquarie University and Sydney University, working with Student
Unions, Sports Associations and Colleges.
Since formation, Salsa Style has been responsible for giving over
1000 students their first experience with Salsa. Many of these students
have gone on to become regular dancers in the Sydney Salsa Scene,
and now provide our largest source of business.... word of mouth....
In June 2005, Salsa Style was presented with a rare opportunity...to
be the first dedicated Salsa school in Hornsby. This opportunity
was seized and since opening the doors in June 2005 Salsa Innstinct
was in business.
Salsa Innstinct has seen over 700 people since opening, and is proud
to have the first dedicated Salsa Classes and the only Salsa Club
production north of Chatswood and south of the Central Coast.
Our Philosophy
"You cannot dance without smiling"
The teachers at Salsa Innstinct understand
this, and live by this. Our classes are held in a manner to encourage
this.
Welcome to Salsa Innstinct the home
of relaxed, friendly, pressure free, sociable dance classes.
We cater to those who want to learn
to dance to be able to have fun, and enjoy being able to dance socially.
Our aim is not to create performers,
or world class dancers - but to enable people to dance for the pure
joy of it.

music and dance. With experience in Ballroom, Tap, and Tango dancing,
he came to be involved with the Sydney Salsa Scene in 2001. Since

From this background, Vov has a very clear focus in his dance instruction
and in the way he directs the courses of Salsa Style and now Salsa
Innstinct.....that is to deliver a fun relaxed class environment where

to have the confidence to get up in a social club and dance for the
fun of dancing.
