Important Note: Persons who do not qualify for our scholarship this year will be considered, and if successful, invited to become a Latin Motion Trainee instructor which has its many perks including world class dance training & mentoring directly from the 5 Time World Salsa Champions & other specialised dance instructors.

The timetable below is a basic weeks training, extra dance training in Salsa as well as other styles will be added to the scholarships yearly schedule in the form of all day workshops. i.e. On any one particular week Oliver Pineda may take the scholarships on a Sunday (in addition to their scheduled Ballroom) for a one day intense Salsa training, it may even be broken up into one week dedicated to ladies and one week dedicated to males. Having said that, the schedule will always be done in consultation with scholarships to ensure a healthy dance and rest balance.
