Joseph Davids is  the director of the UK's Premier Latin Dance Company,  The Latin Collective.

Joe started dancing Salsa in London in 1997.  Initially he learned the different basic techniques of what is now known as Miami / Puerto Rican style Salsa but soon after forming The Latin Collective Joe Met Mr Eddie Torres the Mambo King himself.

Joe's time with this Salsa master taught him to dance On2 and educated him in the importance of; timing, technique, style and the necessary tension required when dancing in partnership.

After graduating from Eddie Torres, Joe resolved to improving teaching practices here in the UK and has worked hard over the past few years towards this.  As a result, he is proud to have some of the best dancers in the UK in his team and some of the most popular teachers.

As well as teaching throughout the UK, Joe and his team have taught extensively abroad including; Italy, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and even the US.

I Guess with such an impressive dance C.V. you do not want to know that Joe includes DJ'ing as a "hobby", is a seasoned martial artist, has a Phd in Med Chem and a MSc in IT.
