Over the past two years, we have accumulated a large variety of videos, from interviews, highlights, social dances, and performances. We have been entertained by the likes of Al "Liquid Silver" Espinoza, Oliver Pineda and Luda Kroitor, Tropical Gem, Santo Rico, and many others. Each week (or two) we will profile a selection of videos, ranging from the very popular to the rarely seen.
This week we feature one of the world's premiere dance teams, Pretty Boys and Girls, from the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded by Ricardo Sanchez and Michelle Castro, the team has taught and performed in many countries around the globe. In 2005, they became the world champions in the team division of the inaugural World Salsa Championships, and placed 2nd in 2006. Among their alumni from their professional group and semipro group (Rising Stars) are Sheila Zepeda and Isidro Corona, who placed in the top 10 of the on1 division in 2005 and 2006.
Additionally, Pretty Boys and Girls promote the successful San Francisco Salsa Congress, which just celebrated its 7th year this past November!
