Returning to Salsa Grand Zagreb after joining us last year, Alicia Velasco is back with the elegance, versatility, and strong artistic identity that make her such a distinctive presence on the dance floor and on stage.
An actress, dancer, and choreographer, Alicia has trained extensively in ballet, jazz, contemporary dance, salsa, and theater, developing an approach that blends technique, expression, and stage presence. This year, dancers in Zagreb once again get the chance to experience her unique artistic perspective up close.
After years working as an actress in theater and television, Alicia entered the international salsa competition scene and quickly achieved impressive results, including 2nd place in her solo debut at Mundial de Pasos Libres, 1st and 3rd place at the World Salsa Summit in Miami, 2nd place at the Salsa Shines Contest in Paris, and 1st and 3rd place at the Mi Tierra World Competition in Italy with Stravagirls.
Today, she runs her own dance school and company in Madrid while traveling internationally to share her artistic vision of dance.
Back at Salsa Grand Zagreb, Alicia brings refined technique, expressive movement, and a level of stage artistry that dancers already had the chance to experience last year — and now get to enjoy once again.
