Etown Salsa

Alejandro & Ana - Etown

Alejandro, a first-generation Chilean-Canadian, was born in Santiago, Chile, and raised in Canada. His parents embedded in him the richness of their Latin roots, encompassing music, language, traditional culture, and the joy of dance. From the tender age of 8, he immersed himself in performing folkloric dances rooted in Chilean traditions.

Upon entering adulthood, Alex frequented the local Latin nightclub, indulging in his passion for Latin music and dance. It was here that he discovered his love for SALSA, a romance that began in 2003 and has since resonated globally through his dedicated website. His presence graced major world congresses in cities like Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, San Francisco, Vancouver, and Calgary.

For the past 3 years, Alejandro has directed various dance teams, leading them to international congresses and expanding their salsa expertise. Over the last decade, he has been a stalwart salsa instructor in EDMONTON, a rarity with his unique blend of skill and experience. Fluent in both English and Spanish, he is happily married to his Colombian wife Ana, who now joins him in teaching classes at their newly established dance studio.
