Internationally acclaimed dancer Melissa Rosado, AKA The Mambo Princess, is one of the top international instructors and performers of NY Style Mambo On 2. She is an energetic and charismatic dancer who is known all around the world for her unique, sexy styling and body movement on and off the dance floor, powerful stage presence, and passionate love for teaching. In addition, her humble attitude and welcoming personality is what makes her popular amongst the mambo community today. She has an ability to effortlessly follow any lead and is known to be one of the best examples and instructors of the Eddie Torres technique.

Melissa has shared stages with some of salsas greatest musical legends such as Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Tony Vega, Eddie Palmieri, Wynton Marsalis, El Gran Combo, Jose Alberto EL Canario, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Menique and many others. Furthermore, she has performed at prominent venues such as Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center, Apollo Theater, and Manhattan Center. Some of her television appearances include a promotional commercial for Univision (Channel 41) with merengue celebrity Millie Quezada, as well as a video production of Oye Como Va with legendary salsa singer Celia Cruz. In 2006, as part of the Eddie Torres Dance Company, she was featured in the CWs segment on Hispanic Heritage Celebration.   In late 2011, Melissa acted as a consultant and was featured in the one of New Yorks most prestigious newspapers The New York Post on its piece of how and where to mambo in NYC.   Furthermore, she interviewed with WFUVs Cityscape host George Bodarky regarding the New York Salsa On 2 style and its roots. Not only has Melissa  shared her talent in many festivals and congresses only in the US, but also  internationally in countries such as  Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Russia, Portugal, France, Canada, Turkey, England, Korea, Japan, Austria, Germany, China, UK, Australia plus many more.

In 2013, she officially formed both a semi-pro ladies team titled  Inaru (meaning spirit of women) as well as a childrens competition company which perform all over the tri-state area.  In addition, she will create a couples team in 2014.  Not only does she choreograph for her teams, she is one of the most sought out instructors, coaches and choreographers worldwide for many dance schools, teams, and couples.  Many students from all over the world come to NY just to train with Melissa.  In addition to teaching  youth classes  in the Bronx,  she provides special event choreographies for weddings, Sweet 16s, competitions, and more.

Melissas extraordinary talent and genuine love for mambo is evident through her captivating stage presence, sensual style and sincere manner with people. It is for this reason that she is considered to be one of the most prestigious and sophisticated dancers of her generation.
