Meet Our Dance Instructor
Edward Trueheart
My name is Edward Trueheart and I've been a YMCA member for many years. I took my first salsa dance lesson over a decade ago and I've been dancing ever since.
The technical and timing components of dancing became challenging to me. Throughout the years I have had the pleasure of being professionally trained by various instructors from CT to NY. I'm currently working on my fifth style called "kizomba."
About four years ago I decided to share my passion and dancing experiences with others. I began teaching basic concepts of salsa on 1, salsa on 2, infused bachata (modern + Dominican) merengue/cha-cha styles. Bachata, a dance originating in the Dominican Republic, is one of the hottest dances around and has become increasingly popular worldwide.
