Ulysses Maclaren

Instructor

Call me:

Uly

At LDA I:

Teach Salsa On1 and On2, and Cha Cha. Sometimes you’ll find me teaching Bachata or Zouk, but usually because I lost a bet

When not dancing I can be found:

Running SSW, a custom software company in Neutral Bay. NERD POWER!

I’m proud of:

Modus Vivendi! Best team ever! I choreographed for them for over 10 years and I still love them dearly. Also I won a Bachata World Championship once… but we don’t speak of that (I’m still sad I only came 3rd in Salsa

I’d like to learn:

Anything! I particularly like exploring fringe styles like Afro and Pachanga… one day I’ll learn West Coast Swing and then retire gracefully into Tango with all the other sexy old people.

Funny facts:

My wife and I used to tour the South East Asian dance scene and were known as the Twin Towers. We’re both rather tall (6” and 6”4’)
