When he arrived in the UK in 2007, Leandro Charanga was immediately crowned 'The Reggaeton King'. 100% Cuban, he is one of the most charismatic performers and salsa teachers in the UK today. His style is unique and cutting-edge, and for this he became famous in Cuba where he is known as 'Charanga'.
Leandro's warmth, sense of fun and enthusiasm for dance fills a room. From beginner level to advanced master classes, Leandro aims to help students grow their skills and as a result, their pleasure in dancing. And his professional dance background means that he can incorporate many years of experience in dance steps, body movement and styling in every class, whatever the level.
This positive energy has made Leandro a firm favourite at salsa congresses and weekenders. He has recently relocated to the Cambridge area and he is already organising weekly classes. 100% authentic Cubano - a little piece of 'La Habana', to brighten up our long winter evenings!
