| Andres was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico from Chilean parents. Andres has been dancing since he can remember, but has been dancing Salsa specifically since he was a teenager. When Andres was 15 years old, he was invited to a Salsa party where all he remembers were that the ladies literally ran to ask the guys who knew how to dance to join them on the dance floor. Amidst all the commotion he said to himself “Whatever this is, I have to learn it!.”
