David Zepeda Ayala

Born and raised in Puebla, Mexico, David grew up with a love for music and dance. With rhythm flowing in his veins, he chose dance as his profession and committed himself to mastering as many forms of dance that his feet could handle. Among them are break dancing, ballet, modern, jazz, Latin rhythms, acrobatics, African rhythms and hip-hop.

His dance career began when he landed lead roles in Mexico’s finest resorts as a dancer under the direction of renowned choreographers. Then, David discovered salsa.  He quickly fell in love with its rich history and passionate expression. While still a major dancer in his country's resorts, David decided to broaden his experience and lent his skill and expertise to various dance schools. He was a performer, instructor and choreographer at Palacio de Bellas Artes, Dance Masters and Academia de Salsa "Pa Gozar." When David stepped into Mambo Productions Dance School as an instructor and choreographer, his career went international.

His unique approach takes movement out of the box and pushes past a conventional dance vocabulary. As a choreographer, he has put his style into musicals and full length shows at resorts and casinos in his native Mexico. His salsa training includes private instruction from renowned salsa coaches such as Mikael Fonts, John Narvaez, Jayson Molina, Fernando Sosa, Juan Matos, Eddie Torres, Victor Burgos, Gaby Bernal, Billy Fajardo, Katie Marlow, and many more.

Paulina Posadas Dagio

Paulina was born in Morelia, Mexico. She developed an interest in dance at an early age. At the age of 15, she began ballroom dance classes with the group Ritmo Latino, learning such rhythms as cha cha cha, samba, cumbia, merengue, rock and roll, and salsa to name a few. Enchanted, her passion for dance exploded and she began training in ballet, jazz and gymnastics.

At the age of 18, she was invited to be the partner of the very talented, professional dance teacher Carlos Carmon, director of the company Salsabor. In the same year, she won her first title as salsa champion in the 2005 "Acapulco Salsa Congress." Boosting her confidence and interest, the win incited Paulina to pursue more training in ballroom, tango, acting, singing, Hawaiian rhythms and hip-hop.

Paulina's skills became increasingly valuable as evidenced by her joining of the company Salsa con Clave, directed by Gaby Bernal and Victor Burgos. She also worked with salsa masters in Mexico who include Juan Pedro Navarro (Guanajuato), Ruben Lee (Mexico City), Israel Vladimir (Monterrey) and Gerardo Ramirez (Mexico City). Her salsa career saw an international light when she began dancing with the US-based company Salsamania, directed by John Narvaez and Liz Rojas.
