Salsa Latina UK was first set up in 1997 by its founder Andy Moore after several years of dancing across the UK Salsa scene, Andy initially started salsa dancing in 1997 when he was inspired after seeing none other than Richard Marcel (Choreographer from Strictly Come dancing and SYTUCD UK) and his brother Paul Marcel at a Salsa concert in Crawley and started learning the following week.

After a years worth of training Andy branched out his training learning from instructors from all over the south of the UK and by 2000 was asked to teach with a local dance company. In 2001 then decided to go it alone setting up Salsa Latina UK based in horley where he taught salsa as a partner dance. After several month of running these popular classes he was asked to join the UK's biggest promoter at the time Salsa UK ran by Paul Young to be part of their teaching team. After 6 months he was teaching 6 evenings a week in Bromley, Croydon, Brixton and at major events across the UK.

Over the years has has gone twice to the biggest Salsa annual Salsa congresses in Los Angeles where 10,000 salsa dancers come together for an amazing 4 day event of workshop, shows and live bands and in 2001 Andy was also asked to teach at the UK's first ever Salsa congress teaching in front of 300 people. From 2001 to 2005 Andy taught or workshopped for most of the Salsa promoters in the South East of the UK from Salsa UK (Paul Young), Latin Quarter, Salsa Dance Club UK, Salsa South (Leon Williams), Salsabug UK (Paul Marcel) and more providing workshops and classes in advanced level salsa.

In 2005 after 6 years of teaching across the salsa scene decided to change direction and move into teaching street dance and creating Street Urban dance company provide street dance and hip hop classes for all levels of dancer and and from 2005 to the present the classes have grown in strength to strength inspiring people throughout the South East of the UK.
