Phil Whitecross
Phil started his dancing career in 1987, at the young age of six. After dancing jazz/ballet for two years, he moved into Ballroom dancing and completed all of his Ballroom medals before becoming a professional competitor in New Vogue.
Whilst still competing in Ballroom, Phil began to extend his repertoire by commencing club style and break dancing. After only two years of training in those styles, he competed in the 1996 World Break Dance Competition, held in Kuala Lumpur, winning the Individual and Teams events. Upon his return, Phil moved into the Latin styles of Ballroom, before starting the Cuban salsa classes at JRDA in 1998. Phil began teaching Cuban Salsa for JRDA in 2001 and after a break, is now back bigger and better than ever, becoming a full-time dance instructor.
