The Yamuleé Dance Company would like to welcome you to our site, we are at your service so feel free to call or email regarding questions or concerns.

Our philosophy is having the best time you can possibly have while learning the latest salsa moves New York City has to offer. The director of the Yamuleé Dance Company is Osmar Perrones. His roots stem from being one of the chief instructors/choreographers of the Santo Rico Dance Company. As one of the top Santo Rico dance instructors Osmar worked hard to develop his own style and form to reflect free expression.

Upon forming his own company Osmar plans to usher in the new era of mambo in a jubulent fashion. Osmar will personally supervise all levels including children classes. So you can enjoy his teachings along with his trademark smile to ease any frustrations.

The classes will be structured with emphasis on the basics as you move up the ladder. Having strong fundamentals as you progress will allow you to express yourself more freely with the music.

There will be a strong Ladies Styling/Spinning and Connective Partnerwork session on Sundays. For the ladies this session will focus on pivot mechanics in order to perfect spinning with or without your partner. This will help develop good body control and balance while in motion. The men will develop solid leads as they combine intricate turn patterns with fun foot work in unison. The goal for students is for them to become complete dancers instead of being one-dimensional dancers.

As students take command of these techniques they will develop explosive yet harmonious dancing styles of their own. With that being said let's introduce the Yamuleé name... The word "Yamuleé" with its African roots means "festive, joyous, and free-spirited" which fits Osmar's style and personality as a whole. He chose the name himself primarily because of its fun-sounding nature. Upon realizing the meaning he felt blessed and knew this was his calling.

Osmar's vision for the dance company is a simple one. His goal is for students to relax in a stress-free environment yet enjoy a challenging aerobic work out as well. The Yamuleé Dance Company hopes this philosophy will carry over into your life regardless of your individual background or beliefs.

All new comers, please join us and enlighten yourselves with the Yamuleé experience. Thank you for your time and anticipated interest. LET'S HAVE FUN!
