Announcements

Lucy Galbraith and Gabriel Ross have been teaching for Salsa Sierra for many years. When Dominique decided to move from the area, it was a natural choice for them to purchase Salsa Sierra.

Lucy taught aerobics instructor for over15 years. She has the ability to follow and lead plus an abundance of patience. “I’ve taken many dance classes throughout my life, but when I tried Salsa I knew I’d found my passion! Teaching Salsa is a true joy for me.”

Gabriel has been in the education system for most of his adult life. He brings a logical and progressive style and has a natural ability to add fun to any class. “I was one of those who struggled to get the steps, but I kept at it. And now I’m the teacher - who woulda thought! I feel blessed to bring my love of Salsa to others.”
