Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Christian was given a great foundation in musical genres, listening and dancing to Latin folklore, Salsa, Bachata, Merengue and Jazz. At a young age, Christian performed Folklore and Hip Hop dances at local talent shows and events. Although music and dancing were always a passion, they were temporarily forgotten after moving to Orlando, Florida in 1997.After a 2004 salsa class, the fire was re-ignited! Christian learned Salsa LA style On 1. Shortly after he started teaching classes and performing. One noticeable performance was at the \u201cAmway Arena performing along Victor Manuelle, Ismael Miranda, Andy Montanez among others in (2006)\u201d In 2005 he was introduced to Bachata soon after he started developing his own personal style Sensual Bachata, influenced by Tango, Waltz, and Rumba.<\/p>\n
