What started back in 2013 as a simple Facebook post has grown into a worldwide platform where dancers openly discuss the topics that matter. From “What makes a good lead?” to “Too many shows?” and everything in between, Olu has hosted over 100 conversations that are honest, thought-provoking, and often spiced with humor. His role? Guiding the discussion with sharp wit, intelligence, and just the right amount of provocation - while making sure every voice is heard.
Already a well-known and beloved presence at the Croatian Summer Salsa Festival, Olu brings a very specific and recognizable energy - in every sense. From his communication style to his fashion, he embodies a modern-day salsero who doesn’t just observe the scene, but actively shapes it.
With over 25 years in dance and roots in the UK jazz scene, his perspective goes far beyond steps and styles. Whether he’s speaking, moderating, or simply sparking a conversation, Olu creates a space where the community connects on a deeper level.
This year, he returns once again with the Olu Olu Coffee Lounge - where coffee meets conversation, and nothing is off the table.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
