Latin Dance

My name is Giovanny Lopez, a dancer and instructor from the north coast of Colombia, where dance is deeply embedded in our culture, inspired by the Caribbean Sea, beautiful sunsets, and warm weather. Being part of folklore dance groups in Cartagena since I was a kid and teaching dance in Colombia since 2020 has brought me immense joy in sharing and teaching this art with others. During my studies in Business Administration, I was also actively involved in theatre and choir groups, nurturing my passion for art in all its forms.

As a Colombian, I will bring the happiness, vibrant energy, and positive attitude our culture is renowned for. In my dance classes, I strive to share this lively spirit, keeping the warmth and joy of summer alive through the fall. Starting in September 2024, I will be teaching Latin dance classes at AV��Դ, where everyone is welcome to experience diverse Latin rhythms, relieve stress, stay fit, and promote community wellness.
