Calvin and Fanny have been dancing and teaching salsa together since 2008.
They frequently travel to salsa congresses and festivals where they participate
in workshops and share the dance floor with some of the biggest names in the
world of salsa, including: Five time World Salsa Champion Oliver Pineda of
Australia, Salsa On2 pioneer Eddie Torres of New York, Griselle Ponce of
New Jersey, The Cobo Brothers of North Carolina, and many more.
FANNY OLAYA was born and raised in Lima, Peru where she grew up
listening and dancing to the sounds of salsa, merengue, cumbia, cha cha cha,
and other latin styles. These sounds were a part of Fanny's everyday life from
a very early age and have created in her an undying passion for music and dance.
CALVIN RICE was born in Buffalo, NY and holds a Bachelors degree in music
performance and education from Ithaca College. He is an active musician, dancer,
and teacher who loves to share his knowledge and talent with others.
Classes are a mix of footwork (shines) and partnerwork (turn patterns),
with emphasis on the techniques of leading and following for the social dancer.
Students will also begin to gain an understanding of musicality and latin body motion.
No partner necessary.
