Roberto Moreno and Elisse Heine have been dancing and performing together since 2007. Originally from Mexico City, Roberto has always had a passion for the rhythmic qualities of Latin music. When a friend needed a dance partner in 2005, Roberto was called in and he soon realized that Salsa was for him. 

Elisse came from the dance world having pursued many styles such as ballet, jazz and modern throughout her entire life. Eventually in 2006, she tried out Salsa and loved every minute of it.

Liesa began dancing at the age of 3 at her mother’s studio. It was here that she first discovered her love of movement and dance. Liesa’s sister Vanessa and her niece Kiana also began dancing at the same young age, making three generations of dancers in the family! Liesa trained in many dance disciplines including Jazz, Contemporary, Hip-Hop, Musical Theatre, and Ballet, which remains her first love.

Liesa has been given the opportunity to perform in many dance productions, including the role of Clara in Alberta Ballet’s “The Nutcracker”. Liesa has presented her own original choreography in Dancers’ Studio West Showcase, Dance Explosions. She can still be found helping her mom choreograph dance classes, and rehearsing them in their home studio, also known as the kitchen!

Music is my passion and using music to teach dance is my privilege. For this reason, I am so very grateful for the opportunity to teach the Salsa Babies program to moms and dads alike. I would like to think that I bring a wealth of music and dance experience to every class I teach.

I have studied music and dance since the age of three. My musical training has been predominately on the violin and piano although, I occasionally dabble on the cello and guitar. Musically, I am a published children's theory book author as well as a regular fiddle instructor and adjudicator at many camps and festivals throughout Alberta. My dance experience ranges from ballet to ballroom and also includes pole dancing for fitness, which I have been involved with since 2006.
