about me:

Hi! My name is Silvana Newcomb and I’m the Artistic Director, and an instructor this year! I’m a 2nd year from Long Island, NY hoping to study Psychology and Speech Communication Disorders.

I grew up dancing many styles but latin dance was more new to me! I’m Colombian and Salsa has helped me feel more connected to my roots and find a sense of community at UVA. I have so much love for this club and I’m really excited to contribute and make this year super fun!

Outside of Salsa I love playing guitar, reading, listening to music, swimming, or participating in any competition-style game where my ego says I can win (I never do). I love meeting new people and I’m a big yapper so please don’t hesitate to ask me questions or reach out!
