of the Brooklyn mambo community. Under partners
Marcus Gonzalez

Jose Rivera, plus instructor
Ray
Colon and others, the studio has now expanded to include 2 locations.
Their students come from Brooklyn and elsewhere to participate in their
classes and socials. All dancers, students and more advanced
dancers, are invited to the socials which feature a friendly welcoming
