Meet the Founder
Alba García Morell
Founder & Dance Instructor
With over two decades of experience in dance, Alba has built an exceptionally versatile artistic background combining technical training, stage performance and Latin dance.
She began with ballet and jazz at an early age and later completed her professional training at Coco Comin Barcelona, qualifying as a Professional Musical Theatre Dancer. Her multidisciplinary education includes ballet, jazz, contemporary dance, hip hop, tap dance, Spanish dance and movement technique, complemented by additional training in acrobatics and pole dance.
At 19, Alba discovered Salsa in Valencia, marking the beginning of a journey into social dance that would continue across different countries. In Germany, she expanded her background through Standard & Ballroom Dance training from beginner to advanced level, before deepening her Salsa expertise through specialized teacher-training seminars with multiple Salsa champions Adrián & Anita, as well as Ladies Styling training with Anita Santos Rubín, one of her strongest artistic influences.
Her development in Bachata has been shaped by years of practice, teaching and continuous training through international workshops and congresses, learning from some of the most influential names in the scene, including Korke & Judith, pioneers of Bachata Sensual, and Anthony & Belén.
This combination of disciplines and styles has shaped Alba’s approach to teaching into something that goes far beyond simply learning steps. Her classes bring together technique, musicality, connection, body movement and attention to detail, while always staying true to the essence of Barcelona Move: learning to dance with confidence, feeling good in your body, and enjoying every step of the journey.
