Jorge has three passions in life: teaching ,dancing and learning new things. He has been teaching for 25 years and dancing for 27. He has taught in private schools, state schools, colleges and universities in Peru and in the UK. He dances Salsa, Merengue, Marinera and Afro-Peruvian rhythms. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Education,a Lancaster University PGCE ,a LAMDA Bronze Medal in Acting and a Manchester University Postgraduate Diploma in TESOL. At the moment , he is studying a Level 5 Diploma in the Teaching of ESOL.

In his lessons he uses classic Salsa songs("El Timbalero","Ay Mama Ines","Cali Pachanguero","La Rebelion") as well as music from the charts such as: "Hips Don't Lie", "Blame it on the Bossa Nova" and "Bailamos".

Jorge teaches Peruvian Salsa which shares its basic step with L.A. Salsa and is also danced on one but it doesn't include as many spins as the other styles of salsa. Instead the dancers should concentrate on flirtatious eye contact and hip movement. Men should be aware that their role is to make their partner look good as well as provide a clear lead and be in overall control.

At the moment Mr. Ulloa works as a Lecturer 1 at Blackpool and The Fylde College where he teaches : ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), Spanish, Peruvian Salsa and Merengue.

Jorge also teaches at the Talbot Social Club and the Progress Club in Blackpool, The Bispham Conservative Club and at St. Bernadette's Church Hall in Bispham Village and Thornton Little Theatre in Thornton-Cleveleys.

Mr. Ulloa-Medina also organised the first Blackpool Salsa Weekend (3-5 June 2011).

Peruvian Salsa shares the same basic step as L.A Salsa and is danced on one. There aren't as many spins as in other types of Salsa but there are a lot of flirtatious looks, sexy walks and plenty of hip movement. Eye contact is very important as well as the understanding of the message of the dance: It is about a man who is flirting with a girl he fancies , hence the eye contact. The role of the man is to make the girl look good, provide a clear lead and be in overall control.
