The Salsa Socialite: Griselle Ponce & The House of Dance
Hola Salseros,
There is a celestial body in our midst that can be described as beautiful, stylish, original, inspiring, breath-taking, experienced, and of course, out of this world. It is none other than the heavenly star of Griselle Ponce, a Puerto-Rican native with roots in modeling and dance since a young age. Born on July 7th, 1979 with the stage in her blood, Griselle has been entertaining audiences with her sexy moves, awesome stage presence, and dazzling smile for the national and international world theater in Latin dancing. Now at age 29, Griselle is at the top of the Salsa Dynasty with admirers all over the world looking for a chance to dance and feel the power of her presence.
Currently partnered with the Mambo King himself, Eddie Torres, Griselle’s star shines brighter than ever and the friendly Bay area dancers of San Francisco were recently able to enjoy their collaboration during the first annual Fabulous All White Salsa Dance Party sponsored by Aguilar Dance Productions and E & E Dance Artistry in San Jose, California. The event was a true success as dancers from all over the Bay enjoyed workshops, performances, and dancing until dawn. There was a rare treat as Griselle and Eddie gave two fun and memorable shows for the city he called a potential future home. Awe, don’t worry East Coast dancers, you can have him for now, but only time will tell when Eddie makes his way to the Golden Gates of San Francisco.
People were bubbling and excited by the melting stare of Griselle’s eyes as she gave herself to the crowd during her two shows. One audience member commented, “She’s so beautiful, it hurts to look at her.” We understand and don’t blame you one bit for being honest. There is something magical in her aura, something intense yet welcoming at the same time. Talent matched with personality and beauty is hard for anyone to swallow but we welcomed the challenge on Sunday, September 27th at the Dance Boulevard studio.
If you’re looking to experience Griselle’s aura and learn from her experience in various dance styles, check out her studio and school, The House of Dance in New Jersey. We hope that Griselle continues to rise and shine as the years pass. Thank you to her dedication to the art of dance and the rhythm of Salsa as she is truly living her dream on the stage. Because, it’s more than just a dance, it’s a lifestyle.
