M I S S Y   A N E T T E

Name:  Missy

Nationality:  Slovak / UK

Years in Salsa:  8 years

Why have you started teaching?
With my boyfriend and then team. Later I fell in love with passing on the passion for the dance, trying to make students feel the same connection on the floor with the music, their partner and their bodies as I do.

What do you like most about it?
See above, and the fact that I get totally lost in it. When I teach, dance, perform - it's like nothing else exists/matters.

Why SALSA?
I was overworked & 'tan away' to a class that a couple at a party doing crazy footwork (Cali) told me about. By the end of the class, I was asked to join their performance team, then I did 3 years of Salsa Calena only before everything else.

Which dancer(s) inspire(d) you most?
Ufff - many and different ones at different times of my journey, but for what they mean for women in the scene because they helped pave the way - Karel Flores and Alien Ramirez. The rest are too many to mention.

One of your favourite salsa song?
Orquesta Inmensidad - Flor Dormida

Where and when will you have your regular classes in Vienna?
Tuesdays and Thursdays: Dance and Fun Studio (but changing soon)
