About
Anthony Auffret
Meet Anthony, the humble proprietor of First Dance Academy and a seasoned choreographer. Originally from France, he has made his home in the scenic region of West Cork, where he resides with his wife and their three delightful children.
Anthony's dance journey commenced at a young age, igniting a lifelong passion for the art form. While he appreciates various dance styles, his heart beats in sync with the vibrant rhythms of Latin dances, including the infectious beats of Salsa, the playful steps of Cha Cha, and the passionate embrace of Tango, among others.
In 2002, Anthony and his former partner, Coral Perez Garcia, showcased their exceptional talent as finalists in the renowned Salsa World Championships.
Emboldened by this experience, Anthony, by then a professional dance instructor, founded Dance Nation in 2004. This visionary enterprise encompasses acclaimed ventures such as Salsa Nation, Dancing Hen, and, of course, First Dance Academy.
Anthony's dedication to sharing his expertise knows no bounds. With humility and a genuine desire to inspire, he has conducted classes and workshops across continents, leaving an indelible impact on aspiring dancers in Europe, the United States, South and Central America, Asia, and Africa. Along his journey, he has garnered numerous awards, a testament to his unwavering commitment and the artistry he brings to the dance floor.
