Waldo Solano
Originally from Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico,
Waldo grew up dancing to tropical music,
Cumbia and Salsa in Mexico City. He moved
to Atlanta, GA in 2003 and was introduced
to LA style Salsa by Alfredo Piceno (Salsambo
Dance Company) in July 2006. Motivated by
what he saw, he began training hard with Alfredo and Jen Piceno. With the desire to expand his personal style and knowledge of the dance, he continued his education with Jimmy Rumba (Jimmy Rumba Latin Dance School), Francisco Vazquez (Los Rumberos Dance Company) and Cristian Oviedo (Dancer, Choreographer and Instructor in LA). His ability to quickly acquire the moves, timing and technique of the dance led him to become a dancer, choreographer and instructor in Salsambo Dance Company Atlanta, GA & Salsaknox Dance Company Knoxville TN.

to Knoxville, TN to work professionally
at the University of Tennessee in July
2007. He has always had a passion for
dance but really did not explore it until
the summer of 2008 when he started
training in ballroom. In April of 2009, he took his first salsa lesson and has been in love ever since! He joined the SalsaKnox Semi-Pro team in July 2009 and began instructing on his own in August of 2009. He began instructing for SalsaKnox in January 2010. His favorite salseros include Frankie Martinez, Nery Garcia, Proyecto Barrio, Myron Abernathy, Waldo Solano, Sarita Atiles, and Laura Smith. His ultimate goal is to use his passion for dance to spread the message of Jesus Christ to the world."
Ian Orr
Ian Orr is a zouk instructor and performer

jazz and hip-hop, his passion lives in the
connection between bodies, minds and
music present only in improvised partner
dance. For over five years, as an instructor
of swing (with an emphasis in lindy-hop) and blues dance, Ian strived to strengthen and diversify connection within his and his students dance. Naturally, his passion drew him to Brazilian Zouk. Ian has studied with Willem Engel (Leiden, Netherlands), Luciana Guinle (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Kim Rottier (New York City, United States). In November 2009, Ian and his partner, Kendra, organized the Modern Latin Dance Weekend in partnership with SalsaKnox Dance Company in Knoxville, TN.
