Testimonials

Joining SIDC is one of the greatest decisions I have made in the past year! I have learned so much as a dancer, had the opportunity to perform at numerous venues throughout Los Angeles and beyond, and most notably, made a great new group of friends. The people that come through SIDC are remarkable – friendly, easy to get along with, helpful, willing to work together for the best possible outcomes, and hilarious! There is never a dull moment – I truly look forward to each opportunity to be with my teammates, whether at a rehearsal, a show, or just a fun hangout event. I am proud to be a member of a dance company as respected as SIDC. ~ Alyssa Mayfield-Hom, SIDC Performance Team

Salsa Intocable is a team about quality dancing, hard work, and fun. I've never been so challenged on a dance team and enjoyed myself so much at the same time. The company strikes a good balance between building your performance skills and improving your salsa technique. Rehearsals are usually 3 hours per week, more if a performance is approaching, and every minute is useful. Instructors and fellow team members are very helpful and supportive. Overall, the team is very well organized and provides a wonderful way to become a better dancer. ~ Pam Law, SIDC Performance Team

If you are looking for high intensity practices that will challenge your spins, footwork, patterns and lifts, then SIDC is the team for you. Expect to be challenged, expect to lose weight, expect to sweat, expect to make lifelong friends, expect to have fun, expect to perform in front of your peers and expect to excel. Since joining SIDC, I’ve gotten in a lot better cardiovascular shape, shed a few pounds, gained a few muscles, and had a great time doing it. I love performing in front of people, and it feels good to be on a premier dance team like SIDC. We compete with the best of the best in L.A., and with new and exciting routines coming up, the future is only getting brighter. We have generated a big fan base, and people love our high flying, high intensity style of L.A. salsa dancing. I would encourage anyone who is serious about joining a true salsa team and is willing to put in the work, to audition. ~ Stanley Johnson, Salsa Intocable Championship Team

The best part about being in SIDC is the amount of fun our team has whenever we get together. Whether it's at a BBQ at someone’s house or spending Sunday afternoons learning a routine, I enjoy the fun loving group that I'm a part of. Performing in front of audiences is great too. We get to show people what we have been working so hard at. The biggest thing I've learned is that I love watching other people perform but I get more out of performing for others. I'm grateful to be a part of SIDC and I look forward to the many experiences that await. ~ Daniel Sandoval, SIDC Performance Team

When I first joined SIDC, I felt different especially because I am deaf and from what I knew, people on the team weren't sure how to interact with someone who is deaf. This was a big barrier for me and I wasn't sure how it would go. As practices went by, once we got to know each other, the team members and I felt great and the barrier that was there completely vanished. This is was makes SIDC fun, because even though we see each other once a week, we can still have time to bond and get to know one another. As for the dancing, it is so fun because we can go out to clubs and get to know more of each other outside of practice. As a dancer I like to be challenged in every way and I am constantly challenged by the routines and the practices that we have. I learn more about myself as a salsa dancer and grow more. The more committed you can be to the company and yourself, the more knowledge you will acquire as a dancer and this is an enjoyment to have especially, as a SALSA dancer. ~ Christian Saracay, Salsa Intocable Professional Team

SIDC is full a great people from all different backgrounds with a common passion for dancing Salsa. It's really cool to think about that perspective. If taking your salsa dancing skills to the next level is your goal, I would highly recommend joining Salsa Intocable. ~ Ernie Gutierrez, SIDC Training Team

I believe in challenging every one of my dancers to achieve the highest quality in their dancing, and at the same time, building the relationships with one another that is needed to keep a team strong. Quality is what makes a dance company have impact and resonance. We want you to be the best dancer today and for the rest of your life. ~ Laura Luu, Director of Salsa Intocable
