First Our Story
In 1998, Clara left The Bronx, New York and moved to Richmond, Virginia. After logging 8 hours a day as a corporate accountant, she wanted to dance Salsa. When she connected with the local Salsa scene she was not satisfied with what she found.
- Events were not always well attended.
- Online event calendars were not updated regularly.
- Coordination between event leaders was poor or in conflict.
- She got tired of having to drive 2 hours to DC to have a good night of dancing.
At a certain point she made the decision to get involved and become a part of the solution. She decided to start a business, and Salsa4Life was born. We have since moved to Portland, Oregon for the next phase of our lives and business.
Michael's Story
Magician Michael Douglas
Contrary to popular belief, Michael is not Dominican. He is a mix of Kenyan, French, and English….read that as “no genetic advantage” when it comes to Latin dance. For many years he was an IT geek in corporate America. Now he’s a full-time Magician serving corporate and family audiences with his blend of stand-up comedy and magical astonishment. He also serves as webmaster, writer, and dance instructor for Salsa4Life. When he’s not doing that stuff, he has a side job as Clara’s husband.

14 Years of Business Success
“In 2006, making the decision to put away my fears and begin teaching and promoting was a turning point. Over time, I found the answers to the things that held me back. It took lots of time, energy, trial and error.”
Over the years, Salsa4Life has expanded and contracted multiple times to accommodate changes in Clara’s career interests and family needs. On the opening day of business, she had just one student. For many years we had over 75 students in our group classes each week. During our busiest years, we also taught a hand-full of private lessons weekly as well as hosted nine Salsa or Latin dance events at clubs and restaurants each month.
We currently teach a weekly class and occasional private lessons. Involvement as a leader in the Latin dance industry has allowed us to be a source of encouragement to an untold number of dancers. It has also proved flexible so as to provide a respectable full-time income or part-time when we desired to scale the business up or down.
We have found the strategies to starting a business that a motivated person like you can use to enjoy this same success. Let’s get started today.
