Kathryn D. Warshaw:
As a child Kathryn was a competitive gymnast also began coaching at the age of 16. She fell in love with Latin dance and its culture in college after studying abroad in Central America. Even after graduation from CU Boulder with a dual degree Bachelor in Environmental Engineering and Spanish Literature & Language, she joined forces with Daniel opening and directing CNS Dance Studio. She believes that a true artist is also a lifelong learner, a philosophy that is reflected in all she does, and the vision she brings to everyone she works with.
Daniel Rodrigo Cid Vera:
Daniel moved to Murcia, Spain in 2005 from his hometown of Santiago, Chile where he started his studies in Latin dancing. In 2008 he moved to Barcelona to join and compete with the amateur dance company of five-time World Champions of salsa Adrian Rodríguez Carbajal and Anita Santos Rubín. Daniel danced and competed all over Europe until he decided to move to Colorado. Inspired by the work of his grandmother, Olga Nuñez, in Chile, his primary mission is to help provide youth and communities access to opportunities through dance education. He believes dance education teaches important leadership qualities that help build strong, inclusive communities, whether someone is aspiring to be a professional dancer or just dance as a hobby.
