Super Mario has, in a very short time, created a name for himself in Salsa, not only through his students in the UK and Europe, but as far as Australia, Japan and the USA, where many successful teachers and performers admire his dancing ability and imagination.

Mario was born in India, an accountant by profession has been dancing salsa since 1998. (He has no prior dance background). Mario's style is fast and smooth, which allows both men and ladies freedom to improvise. He prides himself that none of his moves are choreographed, and all his moves can be used effectively with any follower even if they have never danced with him or his students before.

Super Mario, also known as, The Million Moves Man, rapidly became a recognisable figure on the salsa scene. He has made a name for himself, with his smooth style and endless unique combinations and his amazing presence on the dance floor. He has taught at a number of respected salsa festivals/congresses and is constantly expanding his teaching skills through successful workshops around the world.

Even from his early days when Mario was just a student, he always showed promise, and when he started teaching, he quickly gathered a following of loyal students. The big break came in Toronto, when he was asked to teach at one of the biggest salsa congresses in the world.

Super Mario is based in London. He specialises in cross body style, dancing on the '1' or the '2', focussing mainly on moves and combinations, with a lot of emphasis on leading techniques.

For his contribution to Salsa music as a Dancer and Instructor he was given an award at the LA Congress 2004. For his contribution in promoting salsa in the UK and Israel, he was given awards at the British Salsa Congress 2003, and the Israel Salsa Congress 2004.

Super Mario has taught in more than 25 countries. For more info on SuperMario go to his web page.
