Masacote Entertainment grew from a chance encounter at a salsa social in New York between dancer/choreographer Ana Tinajero, and musician/dancer Joel Massicot. Their immediate rapport, and their great love for music and dance, led them to create a company that gives equal respect and attention to musicians and dancers, respecting the symbiotic harmony of notes and moves. Since its founding in 2003
, Masacote Entertainment has become one of the most influential and in-demand Latin performance groups in the world. Though based in Boston, the company has taught, performed and spread the salsa bug in more than 30 countries, including Australia, China, Curaçao, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Tunisia. Every member of Masacote Entertainment knows how music and dance can transform lives, and they share their passion eagerly. The company aims to elevate the appreciation of salsa as a sophisticated art form while helping to shape the ongoing evolution of Latin music and dance.
