Salsa with Katya

Katya Virshilas, who also played the lead in the 2006 Antonio Banderas blockbuster Take The Lead, will collaborate with Shiamak to train SDIPA students across India. Although she excels at Latin dancing, ballroom and salsa, Katya has also trained in the ballet, jazz, modern and hip hop styles.
