Casa de la Salsa is a “dance group” of individuals who are active in New York City’s unique and diversified salsa community.  However, we are not simply a student group or a professional group, or any kind of group you can easily label with a set style, demographic, uniform taste or look. We are dancers, choreographers, writers, directors, performers, musicians, teachers, students, researchers, technicians and/or artists and we are from 5 continents; 4 boroughs and New Jersey; mixed-race, mixed-ethnicity, mixed-age, mixed-background. We live, work and dream in New York City – the pavement, concrete jungle and hyper-active rhythm of this island is our home.
The group has performed all over the NYC area at benefits, various NYC clubs, events and socials, and Salsa Congresses in New York, Connecticut and Palm Springs! We’ve performed at events for HBO, the UN, C-N-B-Cn, Isabella Nursing Home, The Ralph Bunche School, Almyra’s Tsunami Fundraiser, Claudine Curry’s Mambo2Chacha Socials, Hope Iniciativa to benefit Casa Bernabe, and Patricia Chao’s book release party at La Nacional for “Mambo Peligroso.”

Casa de la Salsa’s founder, director and choreographer since 2003 is Almyra. She is a professional salsa/mambo instructor raised in New York City and has been teaching salsa since 1999. She performs with the Carlos Konig Dance Company, and was co-founder and dancer in the all-female Latin dance ensemble called Dulce Bembe, directed by Ruby Espinosa. She has performed at most of the major New York City salsa venues, including Lincoln Center, as well as international salsa congresses and events in the Dominican Republic, New York City, Paris, and Rome. Almyra also organizes dance events and charity fundraisers, co-organizes a popular yearly dance event at Central Park’s Bandshell with veteran NYC teacher and performer Carlos Konig, and teaches workshops and styling classes. Her latest personal project involves fusing health education with salsa dance classes in the Washington Heights community – particularly among the elderly - to promote total mind-body wellness and fun for all ages.
