Words We Can Dance (ePub)

As a professional dance instructor and dance teacher trainer, new author and blogger Francisco De La Calleja has dedicated the last three decades to making it easier for everyone to learn and teach partnership dances.

Francisco was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. Francisco was only fourteen years old when his family emigrated to Canada, choosing the Montreal area as their new home, attracted by the city's bilingual culture and cosmopolitan allure. There he took his first dance lessons at the age of fifteen and was fortunate to quickly be taken under the wing of one of Montreal's best dance teachers of that time; Antonieta Cortez Barreño. He was so impressed by the teaching abilities of his instructor and by the impact the benefits of dancing had in his personal life that only a few months later he made the commitment not just to work as an instructor, but to a lifelong quest to become the best dance teacher he could be.

Today Francisco is a dance teacher and trainer of multiple talents, a veritable walking encyclopedia and one of the most experienced Salsa instructors in the Montreal area. His dance experience ranges from Mexican and international folklore, classical ballet, ballet-jazz, tap, lambada, American and International Style Ballroom, old style swing, Salsa and other Latino dances as well as aerobics and rhythmic gymnastics.

In a teaching career spanning thirty-three years, Francisco taught more than twenty-one thousand students in six different dance schools before becoming an independent teacher. He has also danced in, coached or choreographed for nine dance troupes.

He has performed and choreographed in films, TV shows, music videos and almost a thousand live performances across the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. He has also performed at Salsa Congresses and Conventions in Montreal, Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Puerto Rico. He was a member of Salsa Team Canada from 2002 to 2005 at the World Salsa Congress in Puerto
