Salsabor Y Caché dance company
was formed in 1997 when director,
Rogelio Moreno was able to realize
his long time aspiration to direct a company of salsa dancers.
Rogelio took a unique approach to selecting his dancers and decided
to recruit people that were mostly untrained and inexperienced, but
were dedicated and had a strong love and passion for salsa music and
dance. Dancers of diverse backgrounds and nationalities such as
Cuban, Central American, South American, Mexican and American were
selected to form what was to become one of the most successful and
dynamic dance companies in the world.
Rogelio trained his dancers tirelessly and diligently,
working late nights and many hours each week until his once novice
dancers began to transform into skilled and confident performers.
Rogelio’s success during this period was due in large part to his
persistence as a director, his skill and unique talent as a
choreographer and the will and of his dancers.
In July of 1998 the young but enthusiastic company had
their first big break performing in front of thousands of people at
the Puerto Rican Salsa Congress. As newcomers to Puerto Rico and
the international salsa circuit, Salsabor Y Caché made an
unforgettable impression, not only on the many spectators but also on
the world’s best dancers, choreographers and promoters.
Today Salsabor Y Caché is known in the U.S. and
internationally as one of the most unique, elegant and sought after
dance companies in the world. The company has a broad and exciting
repertoire that continues to grow, yet always exemplifies the elegant
style and feeling that Salsabor Y Caché has become famous for.
Rogelio and Salsabor Y Caché continue to perform and teach
throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America and the US. The company’s
dancers are now some of the most successful and in demand
instructors and performers around. And while its dancers are no
longer novices, Salsabor Y Caché maintains the belief that it is not
just training, but also a true passion and love for salsa music and
dance that makes the best dancers.
Rogelio’s inspired vision, creative spirit and ability
as a dancer and choreographer continue to propel Salsabor Y Caché
ever higher. Today Salsabor Y Caché takes pride in striving to
embody what it was first named for; the true flavor and elegance of
salsa. |
