Tomas Guerrero

Welcoming the legendary salsa artist, Mr. Tomas Guerrero, director of the renowned Santo Rico, a pivotal force in shaping the salsa movement in the '90s. Born and raised in New York City, Tomas immersed himself in Latin Nightclubs, embracing salsa organically without formal training.

In 1995, he joined the newly formed "Santo Rico Dance Co," swiftly transitioning from social dancing to directing and choreographing. Under Tomas's leadership, Santo Rico became a premier and enduring dance company, globally recognized as a Salsa/Mambo dance school.

Santo Rico's origins trace back to 1995 in New York, where half of the founding members hailed from Santo Domingo and the other half from Puerto Rico, inspiring the name "Santo Rico."

Tomas and Santo Rico have traveled extensively, sharing their unique style in 45 countries and over 40 US cities. Their journey includes performances at Madison Square Garden and World Salsa Congresses, alongside music icons like Tito Puente. The HBO feature "El Espiritu de la Salsa" captures Santo Rico's remarkable journey.

Currently residing in Orlando, Tomas continues to lead his studio and team, continues to contribute to the salsa dance scene.
