For native dancers, dance is a way of life. We feel music, express ourselves rhythmically and heal through movement. At Salsa Marin, our Mission is simple: We want to share our culture and the way we dance with you!

Mark is the founder of Salsa Marin. He has been a part of the Salsa scene since its inception.
For over 10 years he has committed himself to helping students reach their personal dance goals and is constantly reworking his teaching methods to accommodate the way his students learn best.

"For me, life is enjoyed through music and movement and I try to share that joy with my students. I see Salsa as a form of life. We live to dance and dance to live. Salsa is more than just steps; it is an opportunity for individual expression, as well as a way of connecting with the world. I teach my students to listen to the music, allow it to move them, connect, and become one with the music. My goal is to encourage dancers to "feel" and not just to become step dancers."
--Mark Ellis
