Instructor Profile | Dino Dance Academy

International Dance Artist and Instructor

Go beyond the steps. Feel the music, discover the connection, create your own style.

For Dino, dance is much more than memorized moves and choreography. In his 15 years of teaching, he has treated technique, musicality, body awareness, and connection with a partner as parts of one whole.

His main area of expertise is Sensual Bachata. He also teaches Bachata, Bachazouk, Salsa On1, and Salsa On2. He combines the knowledge and experience he has gained from different professional instructors with a passion for lifelong learning and an approach focused on developing his own dance style.

His classes are about more than learning new moves: they’re about using your body with greater awareness, interpreting the music, connecting naturally with your partner, and expressing yourself freely as you dance.

From those taking their first steps to experienced dancers looking to refine their technique, he brings technical growth together with creativity, confidence, and the joy of dancing at every level.

For Dino, dance is a form of communication: a way to share emotions and connect, sometimes without saying a single word. There’s room on the dance floor for your own expression, too.

My Teaching Philosophy

To me, being a good dancer isn’t about knowing lots of moves. What matters is applying what you’ve learned with good technique, understanding the music, and dancing in harmony with your partner. In my classes, I build this journey around five key principles.

  1. Technique

    Performing movements with precision, control, and awareness.

  2. Musicality

    Bringing the music’s rhythm, accents, and emotion into your dance.

  3. Body Awareness

    Developing isolations, coordination, and movement quality.

  4. Partner connection

    Creating natural communication through leading and following skills.

  5. Personal Style

    Building confidence and discovering your own dance personality.

My goal is not only to teach you to dance, but to guide you as you understand and feel the dance and develop your own style over time.
