Mirko
Mirko Abbracciavento discovered the world of Salsa in 1999 for the very first time. He literally fell in love with it! Since the music and this wonderful dancing style attracted him so much, he started attending all the courses in his town, moving forward to any other city in his region and ended up going around the whole of Italy. After some years, he decided to become a teacher of Salsa as it had become his passion. In 2014 he started a new adventure in Malta, bringing with him his passion. He teaches Salsa Cubana, Los Angeles Style and Bachata Sensual. Apart from all that, he also organises dancing events, such as parties and workshops with international dancers to Malta to help the community improve their level and skills. Let’s dance!

Matylda
Passionate dancer and teacher originally from Poland, she gained her knowledge in dance techniques from the best international dance teachers, and mixed it with physical education and a modern psychology approach. Her main focus are Sensual dances such as Brazilian Zouk, Kizomba and Bachata Sensual. She uses the substance of biomechanics and physiology of movement for your deep understanding of leading and following, energy exchange, and connection. Her philosophy of couple dance is to build the most beautiful conversation between two people, improve your body understanding, discover and develop yourself. ‘Sensual Dancing is all about connection, a gentle language of leading and following which anyone should learn. It's a beautiful language where a variety of different accents and dialects makes it colourful and interesting.
