SJ - Sultan Jamal

Professional Dancer and Instructor

Jamal began his dance journey at the age of 5, learning Ballet and Jazz dance in Casablanca, Morocco. He later continued his education at the prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre in New York City, where he specialized in Ballet, Pas de Deux, Jazz, Modern (Martha Graham technique), and African dance styles.

With years of experience performing across the globe – including New York City, Las Vegas, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Morocco, and on ocean cruises – Jamal is a certified ZIN Zumba Fitness and Aqua Zumba Instructor. He has taught in countries such as the USA, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Morocco.

Inspired by the world-famous Mambo King, Eddie Torres, Jamal discovered his passion for salsa dancing many years ago. He developed his "On 2" dancing style and trained extensively with Eddie Torres in New York City. Jamal also participated in the New York Salsa Congress Challenge 2015, working with Osmar Perrones from Yamulee Professional Dance Company and Joe Burgos from Piel Canela Dance & Music School for a Salsa performance at Madison Square Garden.

What sets Jamal apart is his unique dance style, which combines various techniques from his academic background and diverse experiences to create a signature salsa dancing style.

In recent years, Jamal has showcased his talents at the international level. He has performed Salsa and Bachata and taught Sensual Bachata, Salsa On1, Salsa On2, lifts, tricks, dips, and Latin line dance at events such as the Singapore Salsa Festival (ACEKI) 2014, Cebu Salsa Festival (ACEKI) 2014 in the Philippines, Bangkok Salsa Festival 2014, and World Bachata 2015 in Malaysia.
