ABOUT STREET URBAN DANCE COMPANY - INSPIRE, INNOVATION THROUGH URBAN DANCE MOVEMENT

Salsa Latina UK was first set up in 1997 by its founder Andy Moore after several years of dancing across the UK Salsa scene, Andy initially started salsa dancing in 1997 when he was inspired after seeing none other than Richard Marcel (Choreographer from Strictly Come dancing and SYTUCD UK) and his brother Paul Marcel at a Salsa concert in Crawley and started learning the following week.

Street Urban Dance co (also known as Salsa Latina) has been in business since 2000 and was originally set up as a salsa dance company by Andy Moore from his love of dancing. After nine years of dancing and teaching salsa across the UK and at major dance events he diverted his skills from salsa to hip-hop, learning from some of the top choreographers and teachers at Pineapple Dance Studios in London.

In 2005 Salsa Latina changed its name to Street Urban Dance Co after changes within the Salsa dance company he was teaching for , Salsa UK. Andy decided it was time start afresh and opened up SUDC's first dance classes in Horley at the Oakwood Sports Centre after a few year of training and dancing at the prestigious Pineapple dance studios in London

Within three months SUDC had already arranged and organised a major dance event in Surrey called 'Day of Dance', setting up over 12 hrs of dance workshops of different dances (ceroc, street, salsa,)hip-hop, tango, merengue, bachata, and more) with over 150 people taking part at the Oakwood Sport Centre.
