About Vai

BASED IN VILNIUS, LITHUANIA Hey there! I'm an experienced salsa dancer and instructor, specialising in Crossbody Salsa on1 and on2, as well as Cha-Cha (which is my ultimate favourite!). My love affair with salsa began in 2009, and since then, I've dedicated myself to mastering the art of this captivating dance style. I've also dabbled in Swing and Bachata, adding versatility to my repertoire. You can find me teaching at the biggest salsa venues in London - Salsa Soho and Salsa Temple, three times a week. It's a thrill to share my knowledge and passion for salsa regularly! In addition to my regular classes, I also offer private lessons, providing focused attention and guidance tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps or an experienced dancer looking to fine-tune your skills, I'm here to support and challenge you in the best possible way. Teaching large groups is another forte of mine, and I have successfully managed classes with 50+ enthusiastic dancers. Creating an inclusive and energetic atmosphere is my priority, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and comfortable while learning and connecting with fellow dance enthusiasts. When you join my lessons, you will receive fast and lasting results. I have a keen eye for identifying areas where your technique may need some fine-tuning, and together, we'll work on filling those gaps. Don't be surprised if I assign you some "homework" to practice between our sessions—consistent practice is the key to improvement, and I'll provide guidance and resources to help you level up your skills. But let's not forget the most important part—having fun! Dancing is all about joy, expression, and forging connections. I strive to create a friendly and supportive environment where you can learn, grow, and make memorable experiences on the dance floor. So, whether you're looking to spice up your salsa skills, refine your technique, or simply immerse yourself in the infectious rhythms of Latin dance, I'm here to be your partner on this exciting journey. Let's dance together and make your salsa dreams a reality!

  • At what age did you start dancing? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.

    I started dancing in primary school, and it was Latin Ballroom. We barely had any boys interested to do the classes at the time, so I've started in the leaders role from around age 7.
    I have tried various dances since then. I first tried Salsa when I was 16, and been dancing it on and off since really falling in love with it when I discovered the right teacher here in London. I have been obsessed ever since, dancing and training 5 times a week, which has now turned into teaching 5 nights a week :)
  • What are your favourite dances; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a dance that you'd still like to discover?

    Cha Cha is my absolute favorite, followed closely by Salsa. I also dance bachata and am interested to learn more about Swing.
  • What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your dance?

    I am absolutely obsessed with dance. It's the feel-good hormones that dance gives us. And with partner dance (like Salsa), it's not only moving your body but also engaging your brain, as well as allowing you to connect with people in ways that you normally wouldn't.
  • How have your achievements and challenges made you a better dancer?

    I think it is very important to always keep learning and getting better, no matter at what level you are. For me, the challenges I've come across made me research and think deeper about how to overcome them and how to help my students overcome them as well. That includes finding specific exercises that might help. various practice-at-home drills as well as preventing bad habits and techniques early on. Challenges I've overcome have made me a better and more compassionate teacher, and I'm learning from my students every day.
  • How do you help people stay motivated?

    My students can clearly see my passion for the dance. As a female who leads, I can understand both sides of the dance very well and can empathize with the struggles my students are facing. I always have something encouraging to say if they're getting frustrated and align my feedback depending on the individual needs of the person I'm working with.
  • What makes you a Superprof in dance?

    My ability to listen and understand the issues my students are facing. I am very adaptable and know that one size does not fit all, therefore am able to give tailored advice. I am also very passionate about the dance and love it dearly. Being able to share my knowledge and passion is pure joy.
