Marina Gopko

Founder and dance instructor at Salsa Wave dance school

Dance became a part of my life when I was 22 years old. It had been a dream of mine since childhood, but I didn't have the opportunity to pursue it back then. I studied under some of the best dance instructors in Ukraine, attended numerous workshops and festivals in Europe, and eventually began sharing my knowledge and passion through teaching.

Dance transformed my personality and my life in a profoundly positive way. It granted me strength and flexibility in my body, bolstered my confidence, and made me more open to others. I made countless friends in Ukraine and abroad, and even met my husband through dancing. It's incredible how transformative dance can be, and I sincerely want to introduce it to you.

In 2022, I moved from Ukraine to the US, and Salsa Wave is my first dance project here. I hope it serves as the beginning of a social dance movement in our area.

You can start dancing at any age, even without prior dance experience. All you need is the desire, and I will help you fulfill it in the most enjoyable way possible.

Join the wave! I look forward to seeing you at the lessons!
