SASHA LIAN-DINIZ
Sasha choreographed her First Dance and had so much fun working with her husband Eduardo during their Dance practice. They danced to Carlos Vives, Shakira - La Bicicleta with a variety of different styles from Salsa to fusion contemporary to Cha Cha.
Sasha wishes to share this wonderful process with other Couples, as she believes it is a truly special part of the Wedding experience. Sasha said that she learnt a lot about her Husband, his style of picking up choreography and his way of learning new things.
