Veronica Nelson with Sizzling Salsa (Bozeman, MT)
Veronica, originally from Peru and raised in Argentina, has called Bozeman home since 2004. She first learned salsa dancing in Patagonia in 1996 while she was getting her degree in Wildlife Biology and loves both, very different, worlds. Veronica has been teaching, performing and promoting Latin dance ever since. She raised her family, and taught dance, Zumba, Spanish and bird classes all over our community. She stays current and updated in the Latin dance world by travelling to conferences and workshops all over the Americas.
Sizzling Salsa is our local Latin dance group, a team of instructors, dancers and enthusiasts that organize free lessons, social dancing and events to offer our community since 2008. Join Sizzling Salsa Monday nights at 7:30 in Bar IX where you will learn salsa, bachata, cha cha cha, and other Latin styles. They provide a very inviting, laid back and inclusive environment for all dance levels. Find out more at https://www.facebook.com/sizzling.salsa1.
