moderna dance - Meet the team!

Julie (Jules) Manning

Salsa Moderna Jules

Julie (Jules) Manning - The Boss/our teacher for all our Surrey and Hampshire salsa dance classes. Jules is friendly and bubbly with a passion for dancing and teaching. She is a UKA qualified salsa teacher and has a background in teaching Modern Jive and Salsafit. Jules has choreographed many dance routines for weddings, cabarets, competitions and performances for couples, groups and solo dancers and taught more people to dance than we've had hot dinners.
She teaches pilates and aqua aerobics, and is a professional singer/songwriter. Jules also sings for our salsa band and plays percussion.
Cannot live without: Chocolate!

Dance Diva

Salsa Moderna Dance Diva

Dance Diva - Queen of Dance. Dance Diva is the font of all dancing knowledge. She has a new blog for Salsa Moderna - check it out here. She is a regular at our salsa events and you may have even danced with her....!
Few have ever discovered her true identity but those who have, have never been seen again!
Cannot live without: Dancing, dance shoes, sequins and Strictly!

Barry (Bazz) Fisher

Salsa Moderna Bazz

Barry (Bazz) Fisher - General Dogsbody. Bazz is Jules' long suffering husband who patiently goes along with all her madcap schemes for world domination through salsa. Bazz is responsible for the design, build, and maintenance of the Salsa Moderna website you are currently looking at and can also often be seen lugging speakers, meeting and greeting on the door at venues and occasionally being coerced into dancing!
As well as being a Surrey based software developer Bazz is an accomplished pianist and is currently teaching himself accordion! He also plays in our salsa band - piano, accordion, percussion and vocals.
Cannot live without: Cuban music, linux and tiddlywinks!

Noel Yates

Salsa Moderna Noel

Noel Yates - The Don. Noel looked after our new-comers at our Guildford, Surrey salsa dance venue and also helps out sometimes at our Farnborough salsa venue. He is a very experienced dancer with the smoothest of styles - a fantastic role model for any aspiring new dancer. Noel is a really good sport and took part in our Xmas panto/cabaret, dancing with no less than 4 women... well, actually only 3 women plus Danny in drag! Noel is also a very tasteful guitarist with a love of Jazz and (unsurprisingly) latin music. He plays guitar and percussion in our salsa band.
Cannot live without: The company of women! - no, not in that way! He's happily married!

Paul G.

Salsa Moderna Paul

Paul G. - The muscle! Paul helps set up the venue doing all the manly lifting work for us girlies. He has been at every one of our Surrey and Hampshire salsa dance venues, every week without fail since he started salsa back in January of this year - he's practically part of the furniture! Paul loves to freestyle and always dances with the new ladies and helps them practise what they've learnt. Paul is also a professional musician and plays guitar and sings for our salsa band.
Cannot live without: Golf
