Salsa Connection


Kevin and Chelsea started dancing together in 2004 and have quickly become Adelaide's most sought after dancers. Adelaide's pioneers of linear style salsa, Kevin and Chelsea founded Salsa Connection in 2006 as the first pure linear salsa school in Adelaide. They pride themselves on their precision, while keeping their dancing fun and exciting. Their connection is visible when they dance, and they enjoy touching each dance partner they have with their infectious energy, even if it's only for one dance! Kevin and Chelsea's adaptability, each of them dancing both lead and follow, as well as their commitment to the improvement of not only themselves but also their students, keeps men, women and teachers coming back class after class. All of this in one of Australia's most friendly and approachable couples!

Kevin and Chelsea pride themselves on being among Australia's best leaders and followers in the nation. This has taken many hours of practice and an investment into learning from the best instructors the world has to offer, including:
