Santo Rico Dance Co. – New York

The history of Santo Rico dates back to 1995. The name of the dance company is derived from the initial members of the group being half from Santo Domingo (Santo) and half from Puerto Rico (Rico), hence the name “Santo Rico.” Since launching their first choreography in 1996 Santo Rico has worked relentlessly on its art, spanning 6 continents, 35 countries and over 40 US cities during its fabulous trajectory. To date, they’re recognized for their dazzling choreographies and their world-famous “Santo Rico spinning technique” initiated in 1998 by Tomas Guerrero himself. Santo Rico’s training methods have been a major influence in the industry since its inception to many new generation dancers all over the world, and helped form dance companies such as Karisma, Baila Society and Yamulee. Santo Rico’s achievements also include performing with many Salsa Superstars such as Gilberto Santo Rosa, Tito Puente, Jose Alberto “El Canario”, Marc Anthony, La Sonora Ponceña and Victor Manuelle to name a few.

Since 1995 Santo Rico has worked non-stop thus earning them their current status of the longest-standing and most influential performance team in the world.
