Meet Your Teacher
Enrico started dancing in Italy at 17, first in musical fitness, then professionally in hip-hop.
In 2010 he moved to Paris and found Cuban dance. He trained with Yoannis Tamayo and Alberto Valdés, then went to Cuba, repeatedly, to learn the folklore where it comes from: casino, son, rumba and the Afro-Cuban traditions sitting underneath all of it.
Six years living in the Dominican Republic gave him bachata and merengue the same way.
He has run his own dance schools in Paris and in the Dominican Republic. He teaches in Italian, English, French and Spanish.
Toronto Baila is his fourth city and his own house.
What our students say
CRISTINA - TORONTO
Enrico is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher, especially for anyone looking to learn Cuban salsa from the very beginning. He takes the time to explain not only the steps and technique, but also the music and the different rhythm and beats that make Cuban salsa so unique.
His patience, attention to detail and great sense of humor make every class fun, welcoming and enjoyable. I highly recommend Enrico to anyone who wants to learn Cuban salsa in a relaxed and positive environment!
JAY FIELD - TORONTO
I think what I like most about Enrico’s classes is that he teaches without ego. He’s a great dancer in his own right, but in his classes, it’s all about his students and their success. While his classes are very challenging, he supports those high expectations with patient, clear instruction and a great sense of humour. If you get a chance to take one of Enrico’s classes, grab it!
FRED - TORONTO
Enrico is such a great salsa and bachata instructor. You can really feel his passion for dance in every class, and he brings so much knowledge, artistry, and energy into the way he teaches. Always a great experience learning from him.
