Biography
 Ana Masacote is co-director of Masacote Dance Company and has earned a remarkable reputation as a dancer and choreographer.
Ana began her formal dance training in folklórico at the age of 5 and Salsa at the age of 15. She has since traveled to 30+ countries performing and teaching around the world. Her unique style, distinctive movement, uncanny musicality, adaptability to follow any lead, and attention to detail have earned her tremendous popularity around the world.
Ana and husband Joel are taking the dance world by storm with their unique artistry of merging music and dance. They have broken new ground in 2006 (performing and choreographing to music created by them and for them by Joel Massicot himself). In 2008, Masacote became the first Salsa dance company in the world to create a scripted theater production, entitled "Fantagious," with all music and dance compositions created solely by Masacote.
Ana was featured in the August 2005 Issue of Cuerpo Magazine and with Joel in the April 2009 Issue of Mambo Scene Magazine . She was the Latin Dance Coordinator for the official 2002 Cambridge City-led international tour to Cuba. Along with Joel, she currently embarks on 2-5 week European, Asian, and US tours every 2-3 months. They were the Guests of Honor at the 2007 Curacao Salsa Festival, 2007 Murcia International Salsa Congress, 2009 Lithuania Sala Festival, 2009 Japan Salsa Congress, 2011 Australia Congress, and 2012 China Salsa Festival. Appearances include Italy, France, Turkey, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, England, Spain, Germany, Bermuda, Cuba, Canada, and throughout the US, among others.
Her documented video catalog of her progression as a dancer has motivated dancers everywhere, and her video dvd collections are always sold out on travels.
Outside of dance, Ana attended the prestigious MIT Sloan School of Management and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Business Marketing. She co-founded Masacote Dance Company with husband Joel Masacote in 2003.
Booked as far out as a YEAR IN ADVANCE, Ana continues to teach and perform throughout the world, traveling almost every weekend of the year. View her World Schedule Here.
