On 2 Salsa Intensive Workshop

Join us for another Salsa On 2 weekend intensive, with the one and only Ana Masacote! You don’t want to miss out on this one!

Ana Masacote is one of the most sought-after instructors internationally. She is an international ambassador of Latin dance and music, and has more than 20 years of experience as an instructor, dancer, and choreographer. She co-founded Masacote Entertainment with Joel Masacote in 2003 and has since spread the salsa bug to more than 30 countries across 5 continents. She believes that through dance, we can break down cultural barriers while we learn to better understand ourselves, and each other.

In 2017, Ana founded Yo Soy LOLA (Latinas Orgullosas de Las Artes), which is a scholarship initiative and movement to reclaim the Latina narrative through artistic platforms. Ana was a recipient of the 2015 New England Salsa Music Award for lifetime achievement in dance, is an alumna of the 2015 Goldman Sachs 10KSB National Program, and holds a BS in Management Science from MIT in Cambridge.
