Our Story
Colleen and I fell in love with salsa in the Spring of 1995, when we first heard a Latin band from Youngstown, OH (Sabor Latino) play at Rosebud in the Strip District of Pittsburgh. It was almost as if the music had cast a spell on us…we had never really listened to Latin music before, but as the band played, we couldn’t stop tapping our toes and fingers. We didn’t know how to dance salsa so we tried to swing dance to it….didn’t quite work. Later that summer we saw Tito Puente play at the Three Rivers Arts Festival, and then vacationed in Miami where we became immersed in the music. As we drove through Miami we listened to El Nuevo Zol 95.7 FM constantly….It was then, that we became hooked on the music and wanted desperately to learn how to dance after visiting some Miami clubs and just watching.
