Andy & Yuliet

Andy and Yuliet, two young talents who decided to join their careers in 2019 to embark on the path of dance together. Both have a folkloric background, but stand out today for their versatility and methodology when it comes to performing any Cuban style. From the traditional rumba to a very modern reggaeton, with them you will be able to live the experience of Cuban culture, as well as enjoy the energy and dynamics that usually characterize their classes. With so little time together on the stage they have been able to put the name and tradition of Cuban culture on high.

They were part of the SalsaKompaniet dance school team, one of the largest salsa schools in Norway.

Always focused on the tradition, in not losing the essence, and highlighting the quality, motivated more than anything by the strength and connection that can be had with the music.

Sharing with passion what they love; Dance and Music.
