Scarlet Moriarity, co-founder of Dance Vancouver, brings a lifetime of dance experience and an unmistakable stage presence to everything she does. Born and raised in Mexico, Scarlet was immersed in dance from a young age, mastering a wide range of styles including Mexican folkloric, modern, jazz, tap, competitive cheer, and of course—Salsa.

​

A 2018 World Salsa Champion, three-time Canadian Salsa Champion, U.S. Salsa Open Champion, and multi-time World medalist, Scarlet is celebrated both as a powerhouse performer and an inspiring teacher. Known for her elegant, sexy styling and seamless musicality, she brings layers of nuance, grace, and improvisation to her movement.

​

At Dance Vancouver, Scarlet specializes in ladies’ Salsa styling, performance training, and competitive choreography. She brings her extensive training with world-class coaches into the studio, creating classes that are technical, expressive, and deeply empowering. Her teaching style is warm, encouraging, and deeply analytical:

​

“For me, movement is like a puzzle—I love figuring out how everything connects.”

​

Above all, Scarlet is passionate about building an inclusive, uplifting dance community. Alongside her husband and dance partner Patrick, she continues to shape Dance Vancouver into a space where students of all backgrounds and goals—whether social or competitive—can thrive.

​

“What matters most is being there for our students and having fun together—that’s what it’s all about.”
