History
Chino has been dancing since 2001 and one of his teachers was a notable pro who actually started San Diego's salsa scene. A primary reason he eventually sought to achieve pro-level is to share his knowledge. In fact, his undisputed talent for dazzling audiences eventually led Chino to become one of the most sought-after Latin Dance instructors & performers in all of Southern CA.
