The director of the lengendary Santo Rico dance company in New York, Tomas Guerrero has largely influenced and shaped the style of Salsa and Mambo as we know today through his work in the past two decades. Coming from a street dancer background, Tomas is a natural born creative genius and superb instructor. He was among the first to incorporate multiple continuous spins in his choreographies and established a curriculum for Spin Techniques. Santo Rico under his direction became one of the most influential Salsa/Mambo dance organizations in the world, serving as an inspiration and training platform to New York’s most well-known dancers, performers, instructors, directors and dance companies.
Some of Tomás’ accomplishments include dancing for some of Salsa’s biggest superstars, Tito Puente, Oscar De León, José Alberto “El Canario”, Sonora Ponceña, Gilberto Santo Rosa, and many more. He has also traveled to dance at salsa conferences in 45 countries. He also appeared in his own HBO documentary titled, “The Spirit of Salsa.”
