About Giancarlo
Arrived to the Australian continent in 2002 to study photography in Melbourne. As his passion and creativeness grew for photography, so did his salsa dancing and quickly realised the advantages of being a photographer and a dancer. Ê Although he has only been salsa dancing for 4 years, Giancarlo has an ability that only few of us have. His amazing natural athleticism, agility, coordination and determination, is what makes him an impressive and charismatic dancer. Continuously keeping up his training and dance style (LA Style Salsa), he influences and inspires dancers wherever he goes.
In October 2003 Giancarlo became the Australian IDO Salsa Champion, shortly after he founded Latinissimo Dance Company in Melbourne. In 2004 he was a finalist in Best of the Best Salsa competition in Sydney and got invited to perform at the renowned West Coast Salsa Congress in Los Angeles. He then taught and performed at the inaugural Sydney Salsa Congress 2005 where he and his partner brought down the house and received a standing ovation for the ever popular "Matrix ReloadedÓ choreography.
Giancarlo arrived in NZ in August 2005 and teamed up with new dance partner Masha. They performed for the first time together at the NZ Salsa Competition in October leaving the crowd gasping for more with their "Fever" routine. That same month they taught and performed an exhilirating and energetic "Wild Wild West" choreography at the 1st Auckland Salsa Slam.
About Masha
Masha received most of her dance training in her native Slovenia. She represented her country as an elite Rhythmic Gymnast, which in return has given her immaculately polished dance and gymnastics technique. Masha has now done 20years of disciplined training and continuous performing in different dance styles internationally. Now based in Auckland she took up Latin American Dancesport, but made Salsa her main focus. In 2001 she won the Marconi Club Salsa competition and in 2003 she became the NZ Latin American Dancesport Champion.
Masha's extensive dance experience has given her a unique ability to break down dance technique and explain it in a very comprehensive way. After teaching salsa for 6 years she has created her own funky and charismatic style which has made her the most sought after and popular female salsa dance instructor in Auckland. |
