Seaon
Bristol was born and raised in the Country of Georgetown Guyana. Growing
up in his local Church Choir, Seaon was already convinced that singing
was where he intended to invest his life. At the tender age of 5, he was
already singing with several choirs all over Guyana and music was where
his heart was. Soon after, Seaon turned to dancing as another means of
exhalation and a fight for self-expression. He commenced heavy training
in Ballet, Jazz and Modern Dancing; a spirit he carries with him to this
day.
At the age of 14, Seaon immigrated to New York City
where he attended New York University, majoring in Finance &
Information Systems and a minor in Music. But this background of formal
education, was not where Seaon’s heart was; he still felt most
comfortable on-stage. For the sake of curiosity, Seaon began taking
Salsa lessons with several friends who offered to help. However, it wasn’t
until he arrived at the Razz M’ Tazz Dance Company that his dancing
began to reach a somewhat stable level. This was where he received heavy
technical training, and the understanding of dancing on 2. After being a
Razz M’ Tazz Dance Instructor for about 2 years, Seaon again decided
that he wanted more. He had always heard of Mr. Eddie
Torres, but
nothing he heard, could have compared to what was in store for him.
After attending his first Eddie Torres class, Seaon immediately knew
that his dancing would take off. He studied with Mr. Torres for
approximately 1 year, and has been a featured dancer in the classic and
dynamic routine "Mon-Ti."
Now residing in Los Angeles California, Seaon’s
plans are very simple. He has already taken his Ballet, Jazz and Modern
training and incorporated it into his interpretation of Salsa. What he
now knows, he intends to share with fellow dancers and instructors of
different styles. Seaon is very open with his style and knowledge of his
material, and expresses them both when Leading and Following. He is one
of the very first instructors to have taken the Follower’s role to
such an extreme, and loves every minute of it. With persistence and
determination, Seaon is already on his way to making a mark in today’s
Salsa/Mambo Industry!
