Benny and Brandon Ayala are international salsa instructors. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, they have raised the bar on the West Coast. They’re energetic, driven, humble, and extremely hard-working and talented individuals. Every time we film them during a workshop they are dripping in sweat and always smiling.
Every year in September, they host the East Meets West Salsa Bachata Festival, inviting artists from both sides of the US, to come together and experience a festival with a family atmosphere. The festival has the usual program - workshops, shows, social dancing. However, Sunday is more of a relaxed day where one can do non-dance activities - ie: BBQ and play games.
2020 will mark the 4th year of this festival. Don’t miss out!
