Keren Chevere Perez was born and raised in a small town in Puerto Rico. Exposed from an early age to all forms of Latin rhythms, she was raised dancing in its most indigenous form to Salsa, Merengue, and African influenced dances. When she was only eight she began her training at a local ballet academy. Her passion for dancing grew stronger as time went by, and she was determined to follow her dreams of one day becoming a dancer.

In 1997 she moved to Canada where she found a new love and respect for Salsa. She then began training with Nestor de la Zerda, a high profiled Latin instructor and founder of the World Salsa Congress in Vancouver BC. Her passion for Salsa and Latin Ballroom became such that she invested all her energy and savings privately training with some of the best Latin Dance instructors that Vancouver has to offer. In 2000 Keren did her training as a certified aerobics instructor at Douglas College. With her background in dancing, she wanted to change to way workouts were done and created the Latin Craze Workout, influenced by traditional aerobic exercise and a blend of different forms of Latin dances such as Salsa, Merengue, Cha Cha, Mambo, Samba, among many others.

In 2004 she had the honor of performing in front of thousands of people in a routine she herself had choreographed for Canada Place for Canada day. Over the past five years she has been teaching various levels of salsa as well as ballroom dancing, choreographing and on the occasion performing as well.

Keren is proud and honored to have been invited to join CentreStage Dance team, and her love and everlasting passion for dancing continues to flourish. Her future goal is to bring her passion to the Vancouver Salsa Congress with CentreStage Dance, and to share her love for Latin Dance with people of all ages and levels. This is Keren's second year teaching with CentreStage Dance.
