• Yaron's Profile
Yaron started his dancing career in Beer Sheva where he studied at the University and danced Cuban and Rueda for almost a year. After a year moved to Tel-Aviv, where he studied L.A., and a year later he was asked to participate in Israel leading salsa club instructor's course. Yaron instructed there all levels, form beginner to master, in both L.A and Cuban style. He was chosen to represent the club in the biggest Israeli Latin festival "Fiesta" in 2007. He was asked to teach in Beer Sheva, where he learned to dance, and gave private lessons and workshops around the country. Since he went traveling, he has danced and taught in Australia, giving private lessons and workshops.
• Comments from Yaron's Students 1. " Yaron doesn't just show you the moves and techniques he gives you a feel and appreciation for all aspects of dancing (Salsa.) He reminds you when dancing you should not only look good but feel good. He is patient and
thorough with an infectious passion for the dance."
2.
"Yaron is a beautiful dancer with a very smooth style. He is an accomplished leader and has a great sense of humor on the dance floor, dancing with him is always enjoyable and a pleasure."
3. "To all who might be interested. I would like to say some words about Yaron Fainstein, whom I had the honour to meet and even work with. I met Yaron as a dancer in the famous Bailatino club in Tel Aviv, a leading club in the salsa scene in Israel, where I worked as an instructor. Yaron turned to be an excellent dancer, leader, and partner. As he became more professional, he started to instruct in the club and was loved by his students. He was know for his good spirit and rare humour.
Yaron mastered the L.A. and Cuban styles. He instructed master classes, salsa workshops and different Latin productions around the country. I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for an experienced instructor. Respectfully, Inbal Volman."
