Jessica & Julián are Colombian-born dancers and choreographers lighting up Berlin with the vibrant energy of Cali-style salsa. Since 2020, they’ve been teaching, performing, and promoting this dynamic style—bringing it to major stages like the Berlin Salsa Congress, where they led the very first Cali-style workshop, and opening concerts for legends like Grupo Niche and Gilberto Santa Rosa. Jessica, dancing since 2009, has graced the stage of the iconic Festival Mundial de Salsa in Cali. Julián, who began his journey in 2019, brings the heart of a cultural sociologist to his dancing—seeing salsa as a celebration of identity, connection, and expression. Cali-style is fast, explosive, joyful—and their classes reflect every bit of that spirit. With a focus on footwork, musicality, and partner connection, they teach in English, Spanish, and German, welcoming dancers of all backgrounds into a warm, community-centered space. Rooted in tradition, fueled by passion—Jessica & Julián are preserving the soul of Cali-style salsa, one step at a time.

Leslies Tanzbegeisterung fing im Jahr 2004 an. Nach intensiver Weiterbildung in Salsa und Bachata begann er Ende

2005 eigene Kurse zu leiten. Dabei ging es ihm schon damals darum, seine Schülern nicht nur „die richtigen Schritte“ beizubringen, sondern sie in ihrer Kreativität und Ausdrucksfähigkeit so gut wie möglich zu unterstützen und zu fördern. 

​

Teil seiner Unterrichtsphilosophie ist es, verschiedene Stile zu vermischen. So enthält sein Salsa- und Bachata-Unterricht auch Elemente aus Hiphop, Breakdance und Freestyle. Außerdem ermuntert er seine Schüler, die Musik zu fühlen und den Mut zu haben, auch mal lässig zu sein. Schließlich sind dem Tanz keine Grenzen gesetzt, und er ist der festen Überzeugung, dass man aus jeder noch so simplen Bewegung etwas Erhabenes hervorzaubern kann.

​

Leslie investiert ständig in seine tänzerische und didaktische Ausbildung und tritt regelmäßig auf vielen internationalen Tanzkongressen.
