Since arriving in Sydney in mid-2001, Oren has been a much sought after instructor, choreographer and performer. With his partner, Pascale Dernocoure, he placed second in the professional division of the 2006 Australian National Salsa Championships. Together they then won the Australian qualifiers for the World Salsa Championships, and in December of that year went on to become semi-finalists at the 2006 World Salsa Championships in Las Vegas. Oren has been invited to teach in numerous cities both in Australia and overseas such as Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand and the USA. Within Sydney, Oren's impressive reputation as an instructor, performer and choreographer has seen him participate in the major events salsa has to offer. As an instructor Oren is known and respected for his highly specific and technical instruction. This is reflected in his distinctive style, which is characterized by complex turn patterns with smooth, elegant, sexy and funky body movement. It is also reflected in his students, who are known as smooth dancers, and are some of the most consistently sought after dancers on the dance floor. Pascale Dernocoure is the epitome of a trained dance, with over 10 years experience in ballet, jazz, tap and contemporary dance. Her passion for Latin dance began in 2002, when she started teaching and performing in both Salsa and Samba. Since then, Pascale has proven herself to be an outstanding performer, performing at the LA Salsa Congress, Malaysian World Salsa Congress, Sydney Salsa Congress and in every major city in Australia and New Zealand.
