Hello, my name is Jorday Rivera, and I am a dance instructor, business owner, entrepreneur, choreographer, and I am an expert in salsa. I own two dance studios in Queens, New York. One location which is our headquarter location is in Forest Hills, New York and our second location is in Astoria. I've been in business since 1997. We teach here at our dance school pretty much Urban and Latin dancing, our specialties are all Latin, Salsa, Mambo, Merengue, Bachata, "Cha cha cha", we have Belly-dancing, Hip-hop, Ballet, Jazz, Brazilian Samba. We're going to be teaching you each move twice. We're going to be breaking down the steps, we're going to be demonstrating to you, and then we're also going to teach you the styled version of the steps that we're teaching you so that we can actually go out, practice, take it to the clubs, take it to a party, and you can show off all the great moves you learned.
