History
Uriel Garcia and Vera Rowe are nine time World Salsa, Bachata and Hustle Champions. Since the beginning of their partnership in 2012, they have traveled all over the U.S. as well as internationally to teach, perform, and compete in places such as Canada, Spain, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Hong Kong and China. In 2014 they decided to move to Florida to open their dance school. They opened June 9th of 2015 in North Miami Beach at a location that was a fitness facility. They rented space there for one year until they outgrew the facility. In August of 2016 they moved into their very own location one block away, which they quickly outgrew in a mere 3 months. Since October of 2016 they have expanded into the space next store and grown into a 2,000 square foot facility with two large classrooms where they run a full Academy program from beginner all the way to the professional level.
