Michelle Cano, a student at Manhasset Middle School, has established herself as a major competitor at various Latin dance competitions. With her dance teammates – Genelle, Stephanie, Melanie, Karen, Isabella, Gabriela, Sabina and Katherine – she recently won first place in the Salsa Junior Division at the World Salsa Summit 2017, one of the largest Latin dance competitions in the world. It was held at the Miami Deauville Beach Resort Hotel on January 21st of this year. Her team represented New York and the Mestizo Art Center, where she trains.
Medals keep piling up for Michelle and her teammates from one competition to the next. It should be noted that not only is it their talent, but their dedication, practice and rehearsal that has made them so successful. Last October, Michelle and her team won first place in the Long Island Latin dance competition called “Fire in the Feet”. While two years ago, Michelle and her team participated in the World Latin Dance Cup 2015/2016 and won first place in the World Champions of Salsa.
