Keith Cowans first began absorbing Salsa and other forms of Latin dance when he was a very small child at the famous Watsonville group meetings of Fuego Latino. He was exposed to the rich and exciting world of Latin dance and Salsa Rueda by his mother, Rosa Cowans.

Keith described that his candle was lit for Salsa when he went to a competition in San Jose and saw a new style he had never seen before. At that moment he decided to make this dance his own and has been developing his style and his teaching skills for many years since. Keith also currently performs with the renowned dance troupe Tandy Beale and Company in the Santa Cruz County area.

He teaches Latin Dance at Cabrillo College, in afterschool programs in Watsonville throughout the Pajaro Valley Unified School District. He was Captain of a Salsa group for a time.

Keith makes learning Salsa intriguing, and can help students polish up their moves from the beginning level to advanced dancers. Join us for his classes on Saturday nights!
