Pat Calzadilla is a true Latin American professional instructor, dancer and choreographer with more than 12 years of teaching experience in Malaysia alone. Fired with the passion of Salsa from a very young age, Venezuelan-born Pat came to Malaysia and co-founded the country¡¦s first Salsa school back in 1998.
Since then she has moved on, opening her own Ritmo Latino Dance School in the heart of Kuala Lumpur in 2000. To date, Pat has taught more than 2000 students, some of whom have become instructors themselves! She has also taken part in various international events in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore.
Apart from running a full-time schedule at Ritmo Latino, Pat actively spends time keeping the Salsa spirit alive through weekly parties at various clubs in Kuala Lumpur since 2000.
She is a much-sought-after personality because of her expertise and standards in organizing numerous dance competitions and Salsa related events in Malaysia, the most recent being the Conlay Salsa Dance Championship 2005, which drew the most number of participants locally to date.
