She has a good reputation as a sensitive and intuitive teacher giving great encouragement to her students. She teaches an excellent technical base of Lambada Zouk and Samba thus helping her students learn and improve quickly.

years old.

GARY has been teaching Lambada with Marisa for the past 3 years and is also a

United Kingdom Alliance Qualified Dance Teacher. He has been dancing for the last 10 years with his background in Jive, Lindy & Contemporary dance. Gary has a modern and creative style of dancing Lambada and brings out the energy and creativity of his students. His philosophy has always been that the shape and movements of a dance should always be inspired by the music we dance to first and foremost, but also retain the original feel for basic and traditional style. He has a strong belief that dance should mature and expand with the music of the day, and thus retain a freshness and new energy.

Together Marisa & Gary

have organised Lambada Congresses in England in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and have taught

and performed at Lambada Congresses in Amsterdam 2005 & 2007, Barcelona 2006 & 2007
