Where he comes from
Diego was born and raised in Colombia and brings more than fifteen years of experience as a teacher, competitor, performer and choreographer. He trained in acrobatic gymnastics and was a high-performance athlete in soccer, swimming and cycling before dance took over.
What he teaches
A salsa champion, experienced in tricks, salsa on1, salsa on2, salsa Caleña, sensual and traditional bachata, and Argentine tango. That range is why couples get handed to him when the song doesn't fit a neat category.
Competition
He has competed nationally and internationally — Colombia, Panama and Puerto Rico, and in Miami, Oklahoma, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Houston and Chicago.
On wedding couples
His stated aim is creating life long memories on the dance floor, which is as close to a first-dance brief as it gets. Reviews are consistent on two points: it's fun, and nobody is made to feel behind.
