This is where you get to meet the Salsa Nation family. All of our instructors have varying degrees of experience, but all of them can teach you Salsa in a fun and inspiring way.
Anthony Auffret
Senior instructor Coral Perez Garcia
Senior instructor Anthony was born in Brittany, France, where he started dancing at an early age. His first dance steps were taken in Fest Noz (traditional dancing).
By the age of 13 Anthony decided it was time to rebel and learn something "cooler" so he went on to learning Le Rock.
In 1999 Anthony discovered Salsa and got hooked. In 2001 he travelled to Latin America and gained a better understanding of the roots and the culture behind the dance. That same year he started competing with his partner Coral Perez Garcia.
In 2002 they represented Ireland as semi-finalists in the World Salsa Championships in Miami. Anthony created SalsaNation dance company in 2002.
He teaches L.A. style. He believes that as a Salsa teachers his primary mission is to convey his love of the music and dance. The learning process should always be fun. Coral was born in Madrid. She took her first danced step at 4 years of age and has danced ever since! Flamenco was her first love.
She moved to Ireland in 1998 and in 2002, together with her partner Anthony Auffret, they represented Ireland as semi-finalists in the World Salsa Championships in Miami.
Coral has been teaching Salsa since 2002. She now lives in Madrid again but travels regurlary to Ireland to teach and dance with Anthony.
Coral specialises in styling.
