Crowned ‘The UK Salsa Awards Best Teacher of 2008′ & ‘Most Popular Cuban Teacher 2006′, Moe Flex is one of the most exciting, inspiring and entertaining characters in the international Latin dance scene today.

The man with the biggest smile in salsa can always be found at the heart of the biggest salsa nights, weekenders and congresses and will always be heard above the music calling the best la rueda there is.

Moe burst onto the dance circuit in 1998, choreographing routines for Bollywood acts such as RDB and Ruthless. He then became a regular choreographer for major entertainment events, including two acts in the 2000 MOBO awards as well as choreographing and performing with the hip-hop/dance hall queen “Blu Cantrell”. Last year, Moe performed in the MTV favourite ‘Come and Shake a Leg’ video by ‘Roll Deep’.

In 2000, Moe exploded into the salsa scene winning 1st place in the UKA British Amateur Championships within 6 months of starting to dance salsa. He then successfully competed in the professional division just two months later and went on to win the British Threesome Championship. Now focusing on his true passion, salsa and all things Latin, Moe divides his time between teaching, choreographing and performing salsa, his inimitable la rueda and animation throughout the UK and overseas.

Moe also has extensive reggaeton, hip hop, locking, bachata, cha cha cha and On2 skills which he regularly incorporates into his classes and shows.Moe’s professionalism, enthusiasm and excellence in such a wide variety of disciplines have established him as one of the best teachers around, encouraging and mentoring everyone from first time beginners to professional dancers in his inimitable “all good” style. In recognition of his unique teaching qualities, Moe received the award for the ‘Most Popular Cuban Teacher 2006, as voted by the British public in October this year, having been short-listed for number of awards throughout the year for both teaching and performing.

2006 was an incredibly busy year for Moe, beginning when he took to the stage in Bahrain to perform as a guest star for two thousand people celebrating New Year’s Eve! Alongside his demanding teaching schedule, he has starred in the sensational hit salsa musical, ‘El Barrio’ playing misunderstood bad guy “Chungo” and has also launched no less than three shows, including two with partner Angelique Sinclaire. ‘Lovers Feud’, a truly entertaining comic tribute to Fred Astaire in inimitable Moe Flex style, ‘Fuego’, a fiery Cuban salsa show and ‘Sabroso’, a spectacular two-couple la rueda with a twist are all scheduled for worldwide performances in 2007, in destinations including Barcelona, Cyprus, India, Israel and Hong Kong.

Originally from Somaliland, East Africa, Moe spent his childhood travelling the globe with his family, giving him the opportunity to experience more of the world than most at an early age. As well as influencing his unique style of dance, this is one of the factors that have contributed to his bubbly, open, larger than life and ‘always good’ personality. Moe’s boundless enthusiasm for dance is impossible to escape, so next time you hear “Oye!” – you know what to do!
