Hi everyone! I’m Eric Mastrángelo, originally from Argentina, and I’m truly honored to be part of the Empire Mambo Mentorship team. Three years ago, right after the pandemic, I came to New York searching for growth and new inspiration. After 17 years dancing and 15 years teaching, this city completely reignited my passion. I arrived here as a student… and now I’m teaching, performing, and living a dream I once only imagined. I want to share some really meaningful pictures with you: A picture with my mother — she was the one who took me to my very first salsa class. My first performance ever at 15 years old with my first salsa teacher (yes… you can laugh at the look lol). My first class at Empire Mambo in NYC — I asked Tatiana to record the turn pattern… she’s my wife today. 🙂 The first time I ever stepped on stage with Adolfo and Tania at an international congress — a day I will never forget Grateful to be here with all of you 🖤
