For those who missed it or have never watched the show America’s Got Talent, the 3rd place Salsa World Champions in the on2 division, Junior and Emily from San Diego, performed their routine on the TV show. They received outstanding reviews from the judges and the audience. Here at Addicted2Salsa we wish them the best of luck on winning the one million dollars. Hopefully they’ll win it as fast as Emily spins because the strength of the dollar is dwindling.
Our friends at Amicitia Dance Co. (Junior & Emily) are throwing a social at the San Diego Convention Center! World-class performers from SF, LA, and San Diego (Mamboleo, Majesty in Motion, Alma Latina, Positive Energy, Juan & Susie, Salsa Divas) will be performing. Come to dance or even just share the amazing shows with your friends/family!!!
From the Bay Area, Isidro & Sheila, from LA, Edwin Rivera, even Ashle from So You Think You Can Dance?!
Big elevated stage, two dance floors, and a cash bar too. Let’s all support the San Diego scene!
For those who did not attend this year - the World Salsa Championships were held in Orlando, Florida this year. Here are the results (very similar to last year - however with some new folks). For the latest scores for all divisions see ‘Other sources’ below.
[Updated] I had made a mistake and posted the old scores because the World Championship Website was outdated… will post full scores later. Until then, check out the scores at salsacrazy.
Ok, now these are the cream of the crop of dancers. These are the famous Junior and Emily salsa dancers. This brother and sister duo are the winners on 2 of the 4th anuual San Francisco International Salsa Competition in 2005. I saw them perform at the PS Congress as well, and they are also excellent instructors - and man, SHE CAN SPIN. Other than Serena from Majesty In Motion, and Magna from Mambotribe, I think Emily is probably the best spinner - hands down. Its one of those videos, where if you weren’ t there to see them live, man, the video doesn’t even do it justice - but a lot of fun to watch. There is nothing more attractive than a woman who can do multiple spins on a dime.
Also, I think the dip at the end of the performance is my favorite dip ever!
