Merecumbe is a acro-salsa act where a dark energy emerges and female power is manifested through grand heights of acrobatics and the seductions of the salsa rhythm.
Éireann is a devotional piece that is powerful and poignant. Borrowing lifts from ballet, circus and ice-skating, Éireann combines lyrical grace and mystical spirit with dynamic, gravity-defying aerial work. Set to music by Afro-Celt Sound System, Éireann pulses with a driving force and sails over the flight of the Celtic flute.
Ven Ven is a traditional salsa piece that is fast and exciting. It is compact with entertaining lifts and dives, fast spins and hot Latin movement. Choreographed to the music of Tito Rodriguez, Ven Ven immerses audiences in the vibrant Salsa dance culture that attracts thousands of people to clubs and conventions worldwide.
Purple Mist is an intimate acrobatic duet, suspended between tenderness and power. Combining partner balancing with fluid flips, cyclical explosions and tender caresses, Purple Mist evokes the fog of memory and the solidity of passion between lovers.
