Salsa

Marlon was born in NY to parents from the Caribbean and was educated in NY & Spain, earning a B.S. in Physical Education upon graduation from Hunter College.  His drive to learn salsa became quite apparent after studying in Madrid, Spain.  He found his love of salsa in 2001, having been taken to a class by a co-worker and has not looked back since. His dancing career began under the guidance of Eddie & Maria Torres.  He has trained with some of the best in the business, including Eddie & Maria Torres, Jimmy Anton, Delille Thomas, Thomas Guerrero, and last, but certainly not least Victor Mayovanex – founder and director of Karisma Dance Company.

He is a member of the renowned Karisma Dance Company, known for their elegance and precision, and has been with them for the past four years.  He currently teaches classes in NY for Karisma and has also taught in Dublin, Ireland, Hong Kong, and at the prestigious New York University.  He has performed salsa for films, television, festivals, and on stage at congresses and many famous venues in the USA.

In addition, he teaches ballroom dance to public school kids in the ‘Dancing Classrooms’ program and is the international correspondent for Mambo Fateegz – known worldwide for outstanding, creative salsa apparel and for producing the NY Salsa Congress.  Marlon also hosts a very successful weekly Tuesday night salsa party, which recently received a great review from NY Post/Tempo magazine.

His goals are to continue dancing, teaching, traveling the world, and positively impacting the lives of others.
