Azael & Marta & Samanta

Azael Salazar is originally from Mexico now living in Vilnius Lithuania. He is the director of Fever Dance Studio and has a very successful network of students show groups called “Bachata Fever”. He is known because of his non-stop creative choreographic works. But most important is the way how he leads his classes mixing the right amount between technique and fun.

This year, he will hold workshops with Marta Lipska, and a show performance with Samanta. 

Marta Lipska is an international artist, performer, and choreographer from Poland, known for her elegant style and technical knowledge. 

She started her dancing career with ballroom and Latin. After years of competing, she started to learn different dance styles, which gave her the opportunity to dance in musical theater and perform on TV. She fell in love with bachata and has never stopped since. Together with her former partner, she founded Bachata Romantica DC in the Netherlands. Their dance video was shared by Romeo Santos himself and got millions of views.

She is also coaching show teams and future teachers, creating choreographies and video projects. 

Samanta Drodvilaitė-Zieniūtė started artistic gymnastics at the age of 3, and by 6, she began studying ballet. After earning her ballet artist diploma, she co-founded the SD Ballet Studio in Lithuania. With 6 years of experience teaching ballet to both children and adults, Samanta has performed in various concerts, shows, and TV projects in Lithuania and abroad. 

She is a prizewinner at international competitions and has danced in numerous classical ballets, including Don Quixote, Carmen, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet, and Lady with the Camellias.
