Michael Mandrel & Paul Ronan
Owners of KISS (Keep It Strickly Salsa) Ltd.
KISS evolved amidst the world economic turmoil in 2009. A year which saw the first black American, Barrack H. Obama, become the president of the United States Of America.
KISS is a Latin dance promotion company founded through the partnership of entrepreneur Paul Ronan and former World Tropicana Champion Michael Mandrel.
Paul and Michael first met at Salsa Republic in London. They later became further acquainted at a local club named Quackers where Paul merely attended to accompany his beautiful wife while propping up the bar and indulging in a pint or two of Guinness. On watching his delightful wife receive expert tuition from Michael, Paul inevitably became captivated by the sheer magic of salsa and took to the dance floor without further means of encouragement.
Years later Paul had a vision and with the Lords divine intervention led him to wake Michael from his beauty sleep in the early hours of New Year’s Day morning. He was to pound Michael into submission by repetitively sharing with him his vision of a salsa club. Michael eventually caved in knowing full well that Paul would not let him rest until he agreed to a partnership in what you now know as 'KISS'.
The rest is history and today Michael and Paul share the same mutual passion for charity, salsa and the spirit of dance.
Michael and Paul aim to make KISS the place to be for people from all walks of life, regardless of their back ground, race, culture, wealth, shape or size. Everyone will experience the fun, magic, and bonding strength of KISS as it touches many lives far and wide.
