Cătălin Oțelea
Even as a child, Cătălin had boundless energy, which he invested in several sports at a high level, among them salsa and dance sport. Together with Alina, he trains adults, performance athletes, and couples preparing their wedding dance.
He is drawn to sports and adventure in nature, and he is proud that he cycled all the way to Constanța and went cliff jumping in Malta. When he is not out in nature or in the studio, Cătă never says no to a gaming session, a good stand-up comedy show, or a read about science and technology.
