Edwin Rivera
|
Edwin Rivera was born and raised in New York City and started his
dance career at the early age of 13 years old. He began at the Starlite
Dance Studio under the instruction of David Melendez. As a student
Edwin quickly excelled as a dancer and began to gain responsibility
within the dance studio and eventually choreographed routines for the
dance companies within the Starlite Dance Studio.
At age eighteen, Edwin decided to move to Los Angeles in order to
further his career and gain exposure. With the help of both David
Melendez and Albert Torres, Edwin would move to Los Angeles and
embarked on many experiences that would shape the type of dancer,
performer and instructor he is today.
Among the many projects and events Edwin participated while in Los
Angeles, Edwin also formed his dance company in 2002 “The Edwin Rivera
Project.”
He has had the honor to both perform and instruct at many salsa
Congresses all over the world. His career as a dancer has enabled him to travel
from North America, Europe, Asia, and throughout South America. As an
instructor, Edwin is known for both his patience and energy for
teaching.
He has always been adamant about his desire to teach and perform
because it's a source of inspiration for him to see how teaching can
transform a person on and off the dance floor. His passion for performing
and teaching stems from knowing that he can reach and possibly inspire
dancers and performers how he was once inspired himself.
As a dancer Edwin continues to strive for professional
development and has also trained in Hip Hop, Jazz, Merengue, Samba,
Contemporary, and Rumba to name a few in order to be a well-rounded
instructor and performer.
Recently, Edwin Rivera has had the great opportunity to be involved as
a performer/choreographer for the last year and a half in Chile with a
T.V. show called, "Rojo Fama Contra Fama." In addition, this summer he will have
his big screen debut along side Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez in the
movie EL Cantante which is a film about salsa music legend Hector Lavoe.
With all this under his belt Edwin still feels he is at the beginning
of his dance career and is excited about his future travel plans and
projects. Edwin is a humble person who is interested in getting to
know as many of his students as possible. He is honored and is looking
forward to participating in the 2 nd annual China Salsa Congress.

SALSA is a dance not only for young people, but for everyone.

enjoy it regardless of age.
It is the first salsa team in the world whose membership is almost
completely limited to those who are in their 50's or above.
For two consecutive years we participated in the LA Congress, and at last
year's congress MAC, the team leader, received special commendation.
We want to continue our dance, devoting it and ourselves to the concept that
older people can take advantage of their maturity to express the erotic side
within them.
