sa_id suller Sa'id hails from Siera Leone and is a detail-oriented and dedicated 'Kizombeiro' whose love and knowledge of the dance, music and culture spans the various forms of Semba, Pasada, Coladeira and Tarraxinha. Once a protegee of the masterful and renowned Kizomba Professor Kwenda Lima, Sa'id transforms and interprets Kizomba from a casual social dance to an experience which connects the dancer to the music to become one and the same. Sa'id has been performing and teaching Kizomba since 2007 at congresses throughout Europe. He currently lives and teaches mainly in London.

At 9.00 there will be a salsa class for level 3 improvers taught by the D2S team, an intermediate level 4 salsa class taught by Kathy Towersey, and an advanced salsa class taught by guest teachers Michael Pottinger & Maxine.

michael pottingerMichael Pottinger is the founder of "Smooth Salsa" and has been teaching people how to dance salsa in the Midlands for around 14 years with his dance partner Maxine Stephens.

They are regularly invited to do guest teaching spots and have taught salsa at some of the UK's biggest annual salsa events and congresses.
