Sean & Lisa

Sean feels his instincts as a jazz musician can be most fully expressed as a dancer. Impressed with his musicality, Juliet McMains invited Sean to teach for Salsa Addiction in 2006. His patience, sense of humor, and ability to relate to a wide range of people quickly helped him become a superior teacher. Sean is currently the director of Essential Element Dance Company.  He teaches classes in New York style salsa (mambo on2). Sean's salsa style, marked by rhythmical shines and the ability to easily adjust to partners of varying skill sets, makes him a highly sought after dance partner for salseras of all levels.

Lisa Perez was born in Brooklyn, New York and was raised in Boston, Massachusetts.  She studied and taught NY style salsa on2 with April Genovese, a former Razz M' Tazz performer in the Boston area. In 2001 Lisa and Dave Morgan danced together and quickly became one of the hottest dance couples in the Northeast, performing demos in Salsa and Hustle and winning Salsa contests in Boston and New York. They have appeared twice on Univision's "Pachanga Latina."  Lisa and Dave also created an instructional salsa video called "Dips, Lifts, and Solos."  In 2003 Lisa moved to Miami and focused on teaching ladies' salsa styling.  Suburban living in Miami was not what she expected, so she decided to make another move to Orlando. There she began performing with Eric Baez of Universal Mambo Dance Academy a former dancer of Eddie Torres.  In 2008 Lisa partnered up with Sean Wilson, and together they are currently teaching and performing NY Style salsa (mambo on2).  Lisa is known for her rich variety of movements, unique styling, and smoothness.
