Prince of Salsa - http://www.princeofsalsa.com

Eli Torres - The Prince of Salsa Dance instructor: Eli Torres
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Comments: Eli really is The Prince of Salsa.He is a bit elusive and mysterious. You see him at all the salsa clubs in the Philadelphia/NJ area. Yet you do not see him dance. That is.. if you don't wait around long enough. I've only seen the Prince of Salsa dance with a select few, but when he dances, all the heads in the room turn. If you want to learn how to spin like there's no tomorrow, this is the only person you'll need to see.
