Brian is one
of Hollands best salsa dancers. He is in particular noted for his creativity
on the dance floor. Brian has a unique style and never refuses a challenge. He
eats, drinks and lives salsa. This is one of the main reasons he started his
own show group, and given his addiction it was impossible to name the group
anything but Salsaddiction.
This group
consists of 10 dancers who have performed at several congresses, festivals, and
events. They also participate in competitions.
In 2003 the
show group came first in the European Championship. During the Curaçao Salsa
Tour Brian and Mechteld came third in 2004 and second in 2005. 2006 was a
terrific year for Brian and Mechteld.
They won the second Dutch
Open Salsa Championship, the EK European Salsa Championships in Bognor Regir
and they were finalists in the top 10 of the world championship.
Brians slogan is: Dont
think, just feel.
Mechteld has
many years experience as a ballet dancer, choreographer, entertainer and with
theatre dance. She participated in countless national and international dance
competitions. Even as a professional dancer, she became
very successful.As a professional dancer she was always looking for
something inspiring and dynamic. A few years later she came in contact with
salsa and a new love was born. She concludes that salsa was exactly what she
were looking for. After intensive salsa study in Holland and abroad as a salsa
teacher, she established her own dance school and formation team. In this
period she started a close cooperation with Brian Libier.
The
reward for all her hard work came in 2006, when she received an award for
Hollands best salsa instructor. Mechtelds specialization is foot technique,
body-isolation and styling. The theme of her life is dance.
