Amanda first experienced Salsa
while on holiday in St Lucia. She
was inspired by it, learnt to
dance it, and subsequently
teach it. She has been dancing
and teaching Salsa in the UK for
over 7 years, has worked on a
corporate level for many large
companies including Canary
Wharf Arts & Events and the
BBC, as well as running the
hugely successful aftershow
parties & classes at Sadlers
Wells’ 2007 hit summer show, Havana Rakatan.
Amanda has taught Salsa in London’s hottest night-
spots, including the famous Ronnie Scott’s, Turnmills and
La Finca. She also travels extensively in Europe and
teaches in Havana, Cuba where she runs dance holidays
for Club Dance Holidays.
In addition to adding her magic spice to lessons at La
Clave Cubana, Amanda currently teaches in The Svelt Bar
