Mauro started dancing at
the age of 24 when he arrived
in London from his home
town of Milan. Within 2
years he had featured in
a music video on MTV Asia
and was teaching at some
of the most popular venues
around London.
His
reputation as an inspiring
and entertaining teacher
quickly spread and in 2003
Mauro was asked to teach
and perform with Leon Rose
and Tamambo as part of the
SOS team. It was here that
he met and began dancing
with Eva, 7 years on they
have firmly established
an international reputation
as performers and teachers
of the highest caliber.

Eva
started dancing ballet and
learning gymnastics in the
Czech Republic at the age
of four. Three years later
she swapped ballet for ballroom
and Latin-American dance
and, as a child, won many
national competitions. While
at university, Eva and her
dance partner reached international
masters level in Latin-American
dance, were classified in
the top twenty couples from
the Czech Republic and successfully
competed in many national
and international competitions.
After
moving to the UK, Eva began
dancing salsa with the Mundo
Latino Team and after a
couple of months was chosen
to perform with the Laith
Sami Diablo Dance Company.
In 2004, she was a finalist
in the Tropicana Salsa Competition
and was a member of the
dance cast in the West End
