The Sweetlead Team
We also believe in creating a warm, fun and inviting environment for people to learn
and socialise. You will find our entire teaching team dancing with everyone from the moment classes finish until the last song is played at the social.
Trevor 'Sweetlead'
Trevor ‘Sweetlead’ is that all too rare combination of excellent dancer and exceptional teacher. His ability to clearly convey the finer nuances of leading and following techniques as well as a fun loving nature make Trevor’s classes a real favourite with students.
Trevor has been teaching salsa for over 15 years and teaches both in the UK and internationally. He has worked professionally as a trainer and qualified as a martial arts instructor. Not only does he have many, many years teaching experience in a variety of fields, he also has a heartfelt passion and enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge and skills.
Trevor usually teaches the improver (Level 2) class as well as the intermediate/ advanced class assisted by dance partner Heidi.
Heidi
Heidi discovered salsa by accident 24 years ago and completely fell in love with the dance and all that comes with it in terms of fun, friendships and fitness.
She has been teaching salsa for nearly 20 years now. She is warm and welcoming and able to put those new to salsa at ease whilst ensuring they master the core fundamentals of the dance.
Her focus in the more advanced levels is ensuring that followers also receive tips and guidance for improving their dance.
Heidi loves social dancing and over the years has has gained a reputation for being one of the best ‘followers’ in the business.
Jax
Jax always had a passion for dancing in her youth but life and family commitments meant it wasn’t something she was able to pursue. However, 14 years ago she discovered salsa and hasn’t looked back since!
She is an essential part of our Sweetlead Salsa nights. She is the smiling face that will sometimes welcome you at the door and helps us make sure the night runs smoothly.
The consummate multi tasker she will also jump into classes to fill gaps at a moment’s notice and is always available to answer questions or provide some extra teaching support for our new students. Warm and welcoming, she is always ready to dance and make sure everyone has fun.
Jo 'R'
You know you have arrived at the right place when greeted by our Jo. Her warm, welcoming, friendly and professional approach is the epitome of Sweetlead Salsa. We are so lucky to have her as part of the team.
Make no mistake, Jo was already an accomplished dancer when she joined us. Dancing On1, On2,
loves a Cuban dance and you can grab her for a Kizomba as well. Just ask her to dance.
Have a question about Sweetlead Salsa, our classes, workshops or events? Jo is your girl.
Alan
Despite coming from a dancing family Alan only discovered salsa 10 years ago. He loves salsa dancing as it keeps him fit and sane (relatively!) and he is constantly making new friends.
He is integral to the smooth running of Sweetlead Salsa. He is there every week to help with all the behind the scenes work involved in running a Salsa night. You will also often find him stepping into our beginners or improvers classes to fill gaps and even out numbers.
He is also always available for advice or to answer questions or provide some extra teaching support for our new students.
Jo 'F'
Jo's dance journey started with Trevor & Heidi at Trent Park and she has never looked back. Now dancing On1, On2 and Kizomba as well, Jo's passion for dance is clear.
Jo is friendly, approachable and dances with everyone. Now part of the team, Jo is more than happy to help and offer advice to students starting their own dance journey.
Jo is also one of the friendly faces that may greet you at our club.
