She deepen her studies at Kingston University where she studied BA Honours Dance. Following her University assignments she chose to research Bachata, which pushed her to fall into Salsa and completely fall in love with Cuban Salsa, but above all Afro Cuban. She studied Afro Cuban in Cuba for 2 weeks with Luanda Pau.

She has competed in numerous competitions, including the Polish Championships, and performed in many dance shows. In 2015, she discovered salsa and bachata — and it quickly became her true passion. Since then, Magdalena has been dancing and sharing her love for Latin dance across the UK and Europe, from north to south, as well as taking part in international dance festivals around the world. Besides salsa, she also loves bachata, especially Dominican bachata. For Magdalena, dance is more than just steps — it’s about connection, musicality, joy, and freedom. Her classes are full of positive energy, clear guidance, and a friendly atmosphere — whether you're a complete beginner or already dancing, you’ll feel comfortable and inspired on the dance floor. Now she’s excited to bring her energy to the dance floor and share it with you.
