SALSA STARS OF THE WORLD

Felipe Polanco
The Mambo Magician
Felipe Polanco has long been one
of Puerto Ricos living legends and he is the most well-known
representative of the Puerto Rican Style worldwide. Above all, it is his
solo footwork shows that have made him famous. He is able to combine
elegance, precision and swiftness in his choreographies like no other.
Outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico, he is particularly liked and
appreciated in Italy as one of the best Salsa/Mambo dancers.
Felipe began to dance Salsa in the streets and clubs of Puerto Rico when
he was 14 years old. Salsa, he recalls, was as popular back then as Rap
and Hip Hop are today. The most important period in Felipes career as a
dancer was his association with the "Papito Jala Jala Dancers. With that
troupe, he toured the USA and South America and also performed at Madison
Square Garden in New York City. In addition to that, there were various
shows with famous musicians such as Ismael Miranda, Roberto Roena, Tito
