Great music
Throughout Latin America, the world, and within us all music ignites a powerful sense of freedom, joy and vitality. Of a YES! for life that opens our hearts and minds to all that is GOOD. Every DAN’S class and space is filled with GREAT music; sometimes live, always uplifting.
Meet our founder: Daniel
I grew up in Quito, the capital of equatorial Ecuador, where the sun shines all year round.
Aged 4 I discovered a passion for tennis and went on to excel as an under 16s national champion, and later a Division I NCAA player in America.
When I moved to London in my 20s, I noticed this great city can feel emotionally cold. That many of us yearn for a different option to pubs, bars or clubs. A welcoming place where we can warm to others at our own pace, open our hearts and minds, and feel alive.
Welcome to my place; welcome to DAN'S!
“DAN’S brings the colourfulness, joy and positivity of Latin America to central London. We all need to live life more fully and DAN’S is a great place to explore happiness through fitness.”
