LIZ RACITI

Liz Raciti, nicknamed "Little Liz " and "Lizzy Never Dizzy" she has earned the reputation as THE BEST SPINNER IN AUSTRALIA. Her precision, speed and control are hard to match. Little Liz traveled overseas in 2003 to Los Angeles to learn from the best in the world and attended the Puerto Rico congress where she was first introduced to Salsa On2. After attending the workshops and watching the amazing performances and social dancing, Liz returned to Australia inspired to take her dancing to the next level. Her rapid climb up the salsa ranks was spotted by one of her former instructors where he invited her not only to be a member of the LDA crew in August of 2004, but it was an invitation to become his dance partner as well. This was the beginning of the Jaime Jesus and Little Liz chapter and Liz’s professional career was about to take off… Liz and Jaime have since been traveling all over Australia and around the world where they have been teaching workshops and performing in both national and international Events. This year alone they have been honored to teach amongst some of the best instructors in the world in over 12 international salsa events around the world and over 15 national events all over Australia.
