Veronika´s first dance steps began when she was a little kid. She tried several styles for a short period, including Slovak folk dance, disco, and ballroom, but nothing captured her heart as much as Cuban dances. She started her first salsa lessons 8 years ago at Salsa by Norika dance school in Bratislava, which she still considers her “salsa home club”. Since then, she has had several instructors of different nationalities, but she is mostly grateful for the influence of Johnson Mayet, an afrocuban dance instructor, who has been training her for a couple of years. She attended countless festivals and social dance events and, last but not least, practiced hard at home. Veronika performed with two dance groups, Locura (salsa) and La Adictiva (bachata). In Slovakia, she helped organize the first Slovak and International Salsa Rueda Flashmob. Veronika´s favorite dances are son, rumba guaguancó, casino, and Dominican bachata. She loves songs of Havana de Primera and Buena Vista Social Club. At a party, you can also sometimes see her playing musical instruments. She knows she still has a lot to learn and does that with tremendous passion and energy, which she would love to share with you!
