Carlos Escalante is a passionate dancer with over 25 years of experience in the world of Latin dance. Growing up in the Latin American community, his earliest memories of events and holidays included full dance floors featuring Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Cumbia dancing. Primarily self-taught in Latin social/club style dancing, Carlos went on to teach community members throughout close to 20 years at a variety of dance studios, public events and private lessons, and McMaster students through the university’s Centre for Dance.
Carlos believes in helping students use their dance skills by incorporating visits to local clubs or social events with lessons. Though retired from teaching dance, when not providing engineering services through his corporation, 6E Consulting Inc., Carlos can still be found on the dance floor at local clubs or summer Salsa on the Waterfront at Bayfront Park in Hamilton.
