TRAVELS AND EVENTS 2008
The "salsa" is in my heart. After all these years, it's still a pleasure to travel for salsa. Below are the places I have visited to teach, experience other cultures, and share good times with many salseros around the world.
If you are interested in hosting Angel Ortiz to conduct workshops, or serve as Master of Ceremonies (MC), send an email with your request.
Follow Angel Ortiz as he continues to make his contribution to Salsa around the world. "May YOUR dance dreams come true!!!"
