After getting a head start earlier in life as a musician and martial artist, Jonathan Llewellyn has been training as a dancer for over 17 years, with 12 years and counting performing and competing internationally with the Salsa Rica Dance Company, under the coaching and direction of Eric Caty and Kelly Lannan.

 

Along with many local-level titles, he accrued 9 top 3 Amateur showcase placements, including 2 1st place titles, at the world level, along with many heated placements in Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha and Latin Hustle. Continuing his competitive journey as a professional, he then earned a 1st and 2nd place in the Rising Stars and Professional Hustle showcase divisions in 2024.

 

When not on the dance floor or stage, he may be found behind the decks as DJ PH’LO, regularly spinning music at the top social events in Calgary under Alberta Dancesport, the Calgary International Salsa Congress and the Calgary BKS Experience.
