Dance has always been part of Brigitte’s life, having spent most of her teenage years dancing ballet, jazz and rock‘n’roll… her parents encouraged her to study more, but twinkle toes knew better. Franklyn, her dance partner got into salsa purely by accident. He went to a club, admired this dance and never looked back. He started with Cuban style then LA On1, and now New York On2.

They don’t take themselves too seriously so you always have a laugh while learning fun moves and footwork. With Franklyn’s unique jazzy style and Brigitte’s french flair they never fail to excite. |
