NADIE SE SALVA DE LA RUMBA,
A CUALQUIERA LO LLEVA PA' LA TUMBA!
SIN CLAVE NO HAY NADA!"
Hello everybody!
My name is Lázaro Izquierdo Gómez. I am from Cuba, but I live now in Norway.
I've been dancing salsa since I was a kid, because I come from a family of musicians.
In 1988 I started to dance in the "Gaviota S.A" company. There I learned modern dance, ballet and afro Cuban dances.
I want to mention my first teacher from this company, who is a great dancer: Dayami Pelladito, daughter and niece of "the Pelladito Brothers" from Folclorico Nacional, Havana. She was the founder of the group "Omo Olorun".
At the same time I attended the classes of a great dancer called Baró. He teaches Contemporary Dances and Popular Dances. He was the founder of Conjunto Folclorico de las Far.
In 1990 I joined an amateur group called "Omi Lari", which means "Hair in the water" in the Yoruba-language. While I was with this group I also attended classes in afro Cuban dance at "National Folklore" in Havana. The director of the group was Miguel Rovina, one of the founders of Folclorico Nacional, Havana.
In 1992 I joined a professional group called "Raíses Profundas" which means "Deep Roots". There I danced afro Cubano and son for 4 years. The founder and director of this group was Juan de Dios Ramos, one of the founders of Folclorico Nacional, Havana.
The palo- and yoruba teacher of this group was Concha. She is also one of the founders of Folclorico Nacional, Havana.
I came to Norway in 1999, and in 2000 I started to teach cuban salsa and afro Cuban dance here. Since then I've worked with Kom og Dans,Oslo Salsaklubb at Terpsichore, Salseros, Elixia, and several other places outside town. Me and my partner have also done dance-jobs at private parties, which includes show and course. We are currently giving classes at Bårdar Danseinstitutt in Oslo.
I have participated in several salsa-competitions both at school and later.
I was the first to introduce Cuban Rumba, Cuban Son, Cuban Yoruba and Cuban Cha-cha-cha in Norway.
THESE ARE TWO OF MY TEACHERS IN CUBA.
To the right: JUAN D DIOS RAMOS, leader of the group "RAÍCES PROFUNDAS".
To the left: MIGUEL ROVINA LINAREZ, professor and coreographer at FOLKLÓRICO NACIONAL.
Saturday the 8th of June Lázaro and his partner Anne Kvaale won the 2nd place in the Norwegian Salsa Championship at the first norwegian Salsacongress in Skien 2002.
The 15th of June 2002 Lázaro and Anne won the first salsa-competition at Shiraz.
Saturday 30. November Lázaro and Anne went to Copenhagen to participate at the Scandinavian Salsa Championship. And THEY BROUGHT HOME THE 2ND PLACE FROM COPENHAGEN!

THE 9th OF OCTOBER 2004 WE WON 1st PLACE IN THE NORWEGIAN SALSA CHAMPIONSHIP AT GARDERMOEN HOTEL, OSLO!
MY IDEA IS NOT TO SHOW YOU HOW GOOD I AM, BUT TO SHOW YOU HOW GOOD YOU CAN BE, AND HOW TO MOVE YOUR ENTIRE BODY!
I give classes in SALSA, SON and AFRO CUBANO; a.o. RUMBA, and if the interest is big enough I can also teach mozambique, merengue, bachata, mambo og cha-cha-cha.
!SALSA/SON!

WE DID A RUMBA-SHOW AT THE CONGRESS,
and I have to mention these wonderful people: Lisa from New York and Cesar from Oslo.
They are good students who have learned a lot, and they did the show with me at the congress.
And my dear partner Anne Kvaale who has been working with me for almost 4 years.
She is the first norwegian woman who dance real Cuban Són and Rumba.
Congratulations to all of them!

Lázaro and Anne both dance, play and sing in Norways only group

ACHÉ LERÍ
Other members of the group are Catherine Lengounga Sjong, Oscar Regueiferos, Arne S. Gjone and Pål Bugge.
I would especially like to mention Catherine and Oscar. They are good dancers and they have the real experience about the dance of Rumba and Yoruba, like myself.

-------------------------------------------------------
Aché Lerí went to The Latin Festival 2005 in Trondheim in January. We did a great show, and the paper Adresseavisa said: "-storslått folkloristisk forestilling." (in english: "-grand folcloristic performance.")
After our show the group "Mambo Compañeros" did their show. They are awesome!
We joined them with some dancing on the stage(son, cha-cha-cha and mosambique):
