Rob Hilario - Salsa Cubana in Portland, Oregon
"The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step; the left foot for the leads, the right foot for the follows."
A Perfect Dame Dos (Con Cuba).

Rob walked into a Casino Salsa class on a whim in 2005 and has never looked back. Working diligently to learn, perform, and teach the dance style he has come to love, Rob's focus has been to master the art of leading and general technique to make partner dancing enjoyable for follows as well as leads.
End of the first measure of Setenta.

Recently relocated to Portland, Rob put in countless hours dancing in the thriving Bay Area Cuban Dance Scene and is eager to share his knowledge with the Pacific Northwest. He is thrilled to join a community of dancers he highly respects and has a long-standing friendship with.
Finally venturing out on his own, he not only looks forward to spreading the love of Timba (Cuban Salsa music) and Casino dance worldwide, but also bringing a new perspective on Casino to Portland- the proof of which you can see within the website before you. “Robert is a talented and focused individual. When he sets his mind to mastering something, he succeeds. His drive is one of his greatest qualities, as well as his impeccable attention to detail.”
- Allison Hickey, Substitute Salsa Dance Instructor, ODC/Dance "Dancing with [Rob] is like walking in my favorite pair of shoes."
- Alessandra Quaglia, Mad Salsa Productions |
"... Employers and collaborators with the opportunity to work with Robert will benefit from his hard-work, loyalty, ability to manage under pressure and fantastic sense of humor."
- Sonya M. Haggett, Counselor II, East Bay Community Recovery Project 
In the middle of Guanabo.
“Robert is fastidious with attention to detail, responsible and very professional, as well as a perfectionist in his skills while exhibiting a joy and generosity of spirit.”
- Lucia Miller, MPT |
