YOUR INSTRUCTORS

Meet Yolanda and Fernando

Fernando

Instructor

Born and raised in Cali, Colombia, the salsa capital of the world, Fernando has been passionate about dance for over 20 years. His journey began in his early twenties, when he immersed himself in the vibrant rhythms of Salsa Caleña, Salsa On1, Salsa Choke, and Rueda de Casino.

Throughout his dancing career, Fernando has trained and taught at various dance academies in Cali, performed across Colombia representing different dance schools, and coached dance groups for performances in his hometown.

Now calling Colorado home, Fernando brings his Colombian roots, years of experience, and heartfelt passion for music and dance to his new community. For Fernando, dance is more than just steps—it's a celebration of culture, connection, and joy. His greatest passion is sharing that joy with others and inspiring people to discover the magic of salsa.
