Our 2011 Lineup - Bringing You A World Of Salsa . . .
 

Watch the Master TIto Puente and the King Eddie Torres on one of my favorite all time clips. "There's a lifetime of experience, musicality and personal expression encapsulated in these two gems. And that is precisely why I have called Tito and Eddie a match made in Heaven (Cielo)" written by Rico Bravo


 

How does Eddie stay so cool while dancing with a ball of fire! Here, he's giving Griselle center stage, allowing her the space to go all out. I'm mesmerized by Griselle's expressions. Something that begins in her toes and rises like a volcano through her entire body. She's even trained and choreographed that long, sexy hair to fall perfectly into place with each move! written by Larry Benjamin.


 

All the technique and of a New York pro team plus the sharp, dynamic showmanship of the top technical dancers. Bringing you one of the most exciting shows from the New York Congress.


 
Johnny Vasquez - Italy

This time the Prince of Salsa is coming with one the best on1 female dancer.in the world - Ladies and gentleman (drum rolls) JENNIFER SILVA.. Both are the originators, always the innovators, and still at the forefront. As Eddie Torres called him "El principe de la Salsa" for the second time in the Northwest and back by POPULAR demand.

Not only a Salsa team with numerous championship trophies. These amazing dancers set the bar for Bachata with their sensual moves and creative choreography.


 

Uncompromisingly fierce, tempered with a serene gracefulness — part Salsera, part Na'vi warrior! A presentation so visceral that it masks the years spent developing such finely tuned technique.


 

Alianza Latina - Colombia
The amazing Colombian team, Alianza Latina, Back in the Northwest for the second time.


 

World Salsa Champions 2010 - Colombia We are proud to present from colombia the World Salsa Chmpions 2010.


Alma Latina Amanda Estilo Alianza Latina Alex Salsita
 

Dominican Bachata - San Francisco's favorite Bachateros. Crazy complex footwork combined with passion and undeniable connection. This year's Bachata stars heat up the stage and set sparks flying.


 

Flamboyant would be an understatement to describe this superstar. When it comes to sharing everything he's got with the audience, he ranks among the top of the list. His whole body doesn't just express the music; it is the music.


 

Technically, all her moves are perfect. But there's something more, something extraordinary about her dancing. Alien has a Cuban soul that expresses itself in every gesture. She's the total package and Grizzly complements her beautifully with his strength and style. Together won 1st place at the Latin World Cup.


 

What happens when you take LA's top female Salseras and combine forces into one supergroup? The best x 8 is not incremental — it's exponential! …with enough explosive power to blow the roof off the ballroom. Janette Valenzuela - better known as the salsera - in the movie "Dance with Me" with Chayanne - is the performer, choreographer and Director of City of Angels.

SSC 2010 - A Total Success
An insane amount of talent at the 5th Annual Seattle Salsa Congress with enough crown jewels to astonish any king or queen. Spectacular performances and workshops that brought fresh new perspectives to the Northwest. And Leslie Ferreira's beginning Bootcamp was a fun, rewarding experience for those fortunate enough to attend. Jayson Molina, who has performed at every congress on the planet, was blown away when the party never stopped. In fact, the real magic began around 5 am Sunday morning when top dancers from around the world formed a circle and began challenging each other. Then all the dancers lined up with their legs spread, forming a tunnel. Johnny Vazquez did a wild solo and shot like a bullet through all of them, flying halfway across the ballroom! The DJ was playing his favorite music while a dancer from the Columbian team was singing her heart out to the song. Everyone was too intoxicated by the rhythm to let the night end. This is the soul of our congress — surrendering to the music and the pure joy of SALSA!

Marco Ferrigno - Italy

Fusion in the best sense of the word. All the elegance and technique of ballroom merges with the sabor and visceral passion of Salsa. One of the most creative sought dancers and choreographers in the world today! Marco Website


 
Johnny Vasquez - Italy

If dancers were cars, what you have before you is a race red Ferrari. Turbo charged spins, fuel injected splits. One of the originators, always the innovator, and still at the forefront. As Eddie Torres called him "El principe de la Salsa" for the first time EVER in the Northwest.


 
Victor & Gaby - Mexico

An immensely entertaining and energetic mix of Salsa and Quebradita. The heart and soul of traditional Mexican folkloric dance merging with LA Style showmanship. These guys are performing to stading ovations.


 
Alien Ramirez - Cuba

Technically, all her moves are perfect. But there's something more, something extraordinary about her dancing. Alien has a Cuban soul that expresses itself in every gesture. Alien is the complete package, inside and out.

Jason Molina - Puerto Rico

Flamboyant would be an understatement to describe this Puerto Rican superstar of the Salsa world. When it come to sharing everything he's got with the audience, he ranks among the top of the list. His whole body doesn't just express the music; it IS the music.


 
Ana Masacote - Boston, MA

It's an injustice to call Macsacote a Salsa team. They are a Salsa Institution. Ana uses styling, moves, and techniques in her dancing and choreography that draw from many genres, bringing the ephemeral beauty found in music to the visible.


 
Cristian & Liz - Los Angeles, CA

What makes their routines something special isn't only the years of dedication and training each of them possess but the chemistry and connection between them. The audience can feel the love and passion they have for dance in every move and gesture..


 
Bachata Caliente - Los Angeles, CA

You'll fall in love with the intimacy and sensuality they share between each other and with the audience. Jorge and Leslie are guaranteed to cast their romantic spell over this year's Seattle Salsa Congress.


Jayson Molina Ana Masacote Cristian & Liz Bachata Caliente
 
Sekou McMiller - New York, NY

If Salsa is a blend of many styles, then Sekou is a master chef, infusing rumba, mambo, Afro-Caribbean, jazz, (and I probably left out a few) into innovative choreography that's earned him broad recognition worldwide.
