Latinsalseando was created with the intention of sharing Cuban dance culture both with Cubans but also visitors to our country. Located in Central Havana, our first mission is to give Cuban Children and Young Cubans the possibility to learn about dance and grow through dance. We are so proud to be training the next generation of Cuban Dance superstars. For tourists we offer the chance to learn from some of the best teachers in Cuba, in the same way the Cubans learn to dance. We don’t think you can get much more authentic than that. Latinsalseando is directed by Mariesly Paradelo one of Cuba’s most celebrated Salsa Dancers. A graduate of Instituto Superior de Cultura Física Manuel Fajardo, she studied dance under Lucia Divigno and Tony Menéndez before coming the lead dancer in Caribean Show.

More recently Mariesly is dedicated to teaching and performing at international salsa congresses across the world including in Italy, Dubai, Switzerland and the United States. Mariesly was also the headline performer at the 2017 International Dance Festival in Cuba – Ritmo Cuba.
