Dance teacher - Bachata solo and lady style
Irina’s journey into the world of dance began 14 years ago. She has been on stage since childhood—singing, dancing, and performing in theater productions. While practicing competitive ballroom dancing, she developed a passion for partner dancing. Over time, she discovered salsa, and later, sensual bachata, which completely won her heart!
She has taught both in Estonia and internationally, but recently, she has focused more on Bachata solo and lady styling. Irina believes that this is one of the most important disciplines in Bachata, as it helps develop body movement, coordination, and expression—both in solo and partner dancing. More importantly, it allows dancers to express emotions through movement, explore their bodies in a new way, and connect deeply with themselves.
In her classes, Irina combines the physical and mental aspects of dance, creating a space for feminine energy and self-expression.

Dance teacher - Salsa and Bachata
Passion is the energy that keeps us going - Fabian has the passion that keeps the dancefloor flowing! Fabian is from Cuba and his mother guided him to start taking lessons in ballet school. He liked the emotions - like a lot! - and he spent 15 years there. Afterwards, he decided to master his skills from the streets. He practised contemporary, Afro-Cuban, choreography, street dance etc. He focused on one style after the other, so he could get better in every style. He loves about teaching others that he can give his knowledge all in once - the history of dance, see how students grow in his hands and they become something. Dancing is not just something he does. Dance can solve his problems. When he is stressed, when he needs to think - he dances. Dancing is a way to live, it is a way of living
