About Jennifer Rivera
I am an Ecuadorian dancer based in London with experience in dancing and performing.
Salsa is my first love. I’ve traveled to Cali, Colombia to learn their method of dancing (Cali style) for one year. I also learnt how to dance on 1, among other Latin American styles of dancing.
I believe anyone can learn if they are consistent and demonstrate the necessary passion and discipline.
I’ve take part in and competed in the UK national salsa festival, where I achieved third place.
Dancing runs through my veins and to that extent, I put my heart into teaching this art and ensuring my students get the most out of their lessons with me.

Perfect! I immediately warmed to Jennifer when I met her. She is friendly and kind, with good humour. In the few lessons I've had with her, I've learnt so much more compared with my previous lessons. I've learnt about how posture affects dance, movement of your arms and hips, where to look whilst turning. She has also made effort to come to my local park, making it accessible to me. After every lesson we take a video so I can practice on my own, this is extremely helpful. I have made progress already!! Would recommend Jennifer to anyone, she's lovely x
