DC Salseros

The DC Salseros Latin Dance Company was created in 1998 by Ricardo Loaiza and Elba Garcia, local salsa instructors. Together with other instructors in the area they decided to combine their expertise and created a multicultural and multitalented team to perform at the World Salsa Congress in San Juan, Puerto Rico, representing the nationÆs capital in 1998 and again in 1999. Members of the company represent many different countries and cultures, and their goal as an ensemble is to promote cultural heritage, cross-cultural communication and multicultural awareness throughout the Washington area.
