TAUGHT AT TOMMY TORRES STUDIO
FAVORITE SALSA SONG OR ARTIST: RAY BARRETO "Indestrucible"
" Salsa was a hobby of mine when I was young, when it comes to learning anything I love teaching it to others, it’s the feeling you get when see others benefiting from what you were taught and that’s my favorite part of Salsa."
AKA "Doctor Mambo"
Have been a serious DJ for around a year but have played around with it for several years.
Salsa is very diverse. It's actual music which is why songs that are 50 years old are still relevant today.
"I don't have a favorite song because that changes very frequently but I LOVE Yo Soy Que Necesitabas by the LeBron Brothers. I can listen to that every single day (and I do). Favorite artist is also subjective but I would say Grupo Niche has always delivered. Nichista for life."

Favorite song: En Baranquilla Me Quedo by Joe Arroyo
"I grew up with parents that hosted many salsa parties. I love how salsa brings so much joy into the room. It takes a lot of love and patience to learn a style as I continue to grow in the art.
