His studies continued for another five years until 2001, when, almost by accident, he found himself at a Caribbean dance party. Fascinated by the sinuous movements he observed and the "looping arm movements," as Simone recalls, he decided to expand his knowledge to include these diverse dance styles.

Simone began this new journey in late February 2001, and after only two months, he won his first regional championship with great satisfaction. A year later, he joined a dance company called "Puerto Rico's Dancers". As a member of this company, Simone went on tour and participated in numerous world congresses across different cities globally, including San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he achieved third place at the World Salsa Open competition in 2003.

Simone continued his training with numerous private lessons from nationally and internationally renowned coaches, demonstrating perseverance, dedication, and a spirit of sacrifice. In 2004, he secured second place in the World Championship of Street Mambo. In November 2005, after a grueling competition, he earned the title of World Champion in Multi-Caribbean Dances in Palermo, Italy. His success in 2005 continued with a victory in the Italian Cup Circuit in Perugia, Italy. Shortly after, he decided to embark on his entrepreneurial journey by opening a new studio in Aci Bonaccorsi, called "El Cubil."

In 2012, Simone decided to integrate fitness into his teaching through Zumba Fitness and Tai Chi. Using these techniques, he developed his own fitness style, reinventing his lessons with a dynamic energy that was accessible to everyone.

In 2013, Simone sought new opportunities and moved to the United States. After a brief adjustment period, he began teaching in his new surroundings. In 2014, he started working at Planet Ballroom studio, where he was first introduced to the American Style of ballroom dancing. In 2015, he joined Ballroom Dance Clubs of Atlanta, embarking on a new path of personal growth. That summer, Simone competed in the Novice division of the Southern Challenge dance competition, winning first place.

In 2017, Simone began teaching independently, and in 2020, he founded "SM Dance."

In addition to his devotion to teaching and preparing students of all ages for social and competitive styles, Simone continues his dance training, constantly advancing his skills. In 2022, Simone moved to Canada to work as the Dance Director of the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Ottawa. After helping the studio recover and grow post-pandemic, he decided to return to Europe.
From Spain, he continues to manage his dance business while creating dance trip concepts that allow him to stay connected with his students and teach them in different parts of the world.
