Instructors
Our instructors love what they do. They bring their hearts and souls to every class and dedicate themselves to the growth and success of their students. They can't wait to meet you!
Brandon is the founder of Cultura Dance Arts and teaches our bachata and kizomba classes.
Brandon has been dancing since 2008. Throughout his career, he's taught classes in RI, MA, New York City, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, and Washington DC. He's also directed dance teams that have performed all over the East Coast, down to the Dominican Republic. Most recently, he served as the choreography director for Academy Players of RI's In the Heights.
Outside of Cultura, Brandon serves as the resident dance instructor at Rhode Island Latino Arts and teaches dance during after-school programs at the Segue Institute of Learning, Sophia Academy, and Boys & Girls Club.
Kristy is one of our salsa and bachata instructors and has been dancing those styles for over 10 years. She loves dance because it allows her to express her creativity and cope with anything life throws at her.
When she's not dancing, you can find Kristy hanging out with her friends, vibing out to R&B music, and attending poetry events.
