She got into Bachata, Kizomba, Belly Dance and eventually began creating choreographies, performing at events and teaching in St. Catharines. SHADI Raised on Hip-hop and playing hand drums as a kid, Shadi had a natural knack for music and percussion. Combining self-teaching with amazing mentors later in his dance career, he progressed to study the Afro-Cuban aspects of Salsa and traveled to Cuba to practice with Raices Profundas. Shadi has placed 2nd place at the Montreal salsa convention, and 3rd at the Miami Salsa Festival. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Advance tickets available NOW at www.salsasoulproductions.com or in link in bio. ๐ŸŽ‰GALA at the GASWORKS by SalsaSoul Productions ๐ŸŽ‰ Friday, February 6, 2026 **Featuring 3 rooms: LIVE SALSA BAND/SALSA ROOM + BACHATA ROOM + KIZOMBA ROOM** *ROOM 1: Latin Swing Sextet (live band) + DJ Gio + Beginner Salsa lesson w --- **Source:** [View full event on VAMOS](https://www.vamoseventos.com/event/intermediate-bachata-class-ccfc913c-a052-4a0f-bd71-46d5e7ea8b82) *Powered by [VAMOS](https://www.vamoseventos.com) โ€” Event discovery for Latin America*
