TUESDAY Salsa Beginner Progressive 8-week Course

Cynthia La China, Founder of NYSalsababy Dance Space has been dedicating her pastimes to the art of Salsa dancing & spending her energy promoting her love of Latin music and rhythms since 2000.

An art director and designer by day, dance coach by evening and performer by night, Cynthia has been teaching, dancing, performing and choreographing dance routines as alternative outlets for her creative thinking and artistic expressions.

Cynthia took her first Waltz lesson in 1999 and was swept up by the rhythmic flow of the dance. Yet, it was the flirtatious and exuberant side of Salsa that got her hooked, and she has not stopped taking classes since then.

With a dedication bordering on obsession, she spent her spare time training in Argentine Tango, Ballet, Ballroom, Belly Dance, Cha Cha, Hustle, Latin Jazz, Salsa, Swing and especially NYon2 Club-style Mambo. In fact, her trainers are a Who’s Who of the best Mambo instructors in town including Eddie Torres, Duplessey Walker, Frankie Martinez, Jami Josephson, Carlos Konig, Karisma Dance Studio, SantoRico Dance School, just to name a few.

Having excelled in Salsa, Cynthia was invited to join SalsaGroove Ritmo Caliente Dance Team, an all-female dance troupe, and had performed at local communities and corporate events. Since then she has trained and danced for The Rhythm Divas, ENIXE Dance Company, Duplessey Latin Dance Factory and Mambo2ChaCha Dance Company at International Mambo Showdowns and Worldwide Salsa Congresses. Currently she is dancing with Revelation Dance Company & Michael Fielder's Latin Jazz Team.

Cynthia is also the Founder and Artistic Director of her professional dance troupe "SOY CALIENTE Dance Projects " and Dance Director & Choreographer for her student junior performance team "NYSalsababy Dance Dream".

Since Fall of 2004, Cynthia has shared her passion for Salsa & Latin Dance with youths of Brooklyn communities. After showcasing her talented young students in local community events, she was invited to teach Salsa/Latin Dance for after-school enrichment programs at various public schools in Brooklyn. Since then her weekly class has flourished and Cynthia has continued to enrich young kids, teens and adults from all boroughs of NYC.
