Seeing the need of a more vibrant dance scene, Gary created and actively promotes the term, “STREET LATIN DANCE” since 2009 to differentiate our dance genre from other partner dances. More importantly, this helps to group Latin based dances like Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Cha Cha, Zouk into a collective term giving our genre an Identity. The term “STREET LATIN DANCE” is now widely used not just in Singapore, but also around Asia and the World. An immensely talented dancer and teacher, with a huge passion, vision and love, En Motion and Gary were largely attributed for the growth of Singapore Street Latin Dance scene over the past 15 years.
