Ronald:

Ronald Castro was born in Buenaventura and raised in Cali (Colombia) and in 2001 came to Spain, currently resides in Alicante. Since childhood everything has been related to dance and sport. He has practiced different dance styles such as Break dance, Salsa Caleña, Salsa en línea, Bachata… He’s always been self-taught. Ronald has also worked as a DJ and animator in different clubs, before dedicating himself to the world of dance. In fact, I work for a while at the company Sabor Dinámico de Salsa Caleña.

It was in 2005 when he began to compete at the national level in salsa and bachata competitions and from 2012, the year he won his first recognised title as Spanish Champion in the Bachata Open competition, together with Bianca Romero. Months later he began his journey with Alba Sanchez, where in September 2012 they were proclaimed Champions of Spain and Europe of BachataStars.
