About Us
Our salsa dance classes in Swindon are run by our fun and experienced teachers here at Diablito Dance Company. The teachers and assistants are all trained in the great UKA professional scheme and Karen was the first qualified salsa teacher in the whole of Wiltshire. We very much believe that all salsa teachers should be qualified as this means they're insured and that you, the customer, can be sure of good quality tuition.
Karen is the lead teacher at the salsa classes, as well as belly dance in Swindon, Charlton Kings and Devizes. She designs the lessons which form the backbone of all levels of salsa dance here at Diablito. Her long career in dance started when she was just six years old - but we don't ask when that was!
Among the many dances she is qualified to teach are: salsa, merengue, rueda, tango, milonga, cha-cha, belly dance, bachata, jazz and many more. She is the ONLY fully qualified U.K.A. advanced teacher working in Wiltshire as well as a qualified sports therapist - so you can be sure you're in good hands.
Hardly ever seen without gym trousers here's a short clip of her teaching beginners footwork.... with legs!!!
More videos with legs exist! As of writing she has changed clothing and can be seen demonstrating 'on 2' on the page you can access via the navigation bar. What's afoot? We don't know but will keep you posted.
Steve:
Steve is the Improver level teacher who takes our students beyond the beginner level and guides you towards the heady delights of the experienced dancer.
Vicky: 
Originally a student here at Diablito when she was still at university, Vicky has moved into the teaching staff via her UKA assitant teacher exams and is a much valued member of our staff.
Vicky not only dances club salsa etc. but tango, belly dance and is a versatile dancer and teacher.
Yolanda:
Our occasional 'office girl' who helps with web site updates and all the computer stuff that drives some of us mad.
Yolanda has been a part of Diablito since she was just 15 and is a valued member of the crew.
Dance-wise Yolanda is more oriented towards the belly dance having taken part in classes both here and in Nottingham for a number of years but we won't hold that against her! Don't expect to see her around for a while as she's off to teach in Korea but don't worry... she will return!
