Bersy Cortez is joining Salsa Grand for the first time!
Born in Caracas, Bersy started dancing at the age of 10. By 14, she was already teaching and choreographing for amateur dance groups, and at 16 she joined Imagen Latina, performing around the world. She later moved to Spain, where she now lives.
Today, Bersy is the manager and choreographer of Bersy Style and has danced with salsa legends such as Oscar de León, El Gran Combo, Cheo Feliciano, Adalberto Santiago and Sonora Ponceña.
She also brings something different to this year’s workshop program. While our lineups have often been strong on partnerwork and footwork, Bersy will put more focus on body movement and styling, adding a new dimension to the weekend.
Beyond the workshops and show, she’s also someone who naturally adds to the atmosphere. She’ll be joining the animations, spending time on the social dance floor and, knowing Bersy, probably at the bar from time to time as well.
With her style, personality and experience, she’s a great fit for the instructor crew and we’re looking forward to having her with us at Salsa Grand.
