Jenny Oliver - Salsa Con Gusto Dance Company

Jenny first started taking Salsa classes at Bath University in 1999 and very quickly became hooked. The following year she set up Bath Uni Salsa Society, organising dance nights and guest workshops for members and local salseros/as. As well as partnering various local teachers and visiting guest instructors, Jenny also began to do more and more teaching in her own right.

A UKA qualified instructor since 2007, Jenny founded her own dance company, Salsa Con Gusto, in 2009. She currently teaches dance classes (Salsa, La Rueda, Bachata etc.) and runs monthly party nights at Keele University.

In her classes Jenny likes to focus on getting the basics right, and uses her experience as both a leader and a follower to help her students develop good leading / following technique. At the same time the emphasis is firmly on the social nature of salsa dancing and having fun on the dance floor.
