It has become well known for creating the energy of joy and connection through Latin dance classes, boot camps and monthly live music events. Propelled by the purpose of bringing live Salsa music to Sonoma County, visionary entrepreneur Irene Silva founded Santa Rosa Salsa in 2001. Following the rhythm of her heart, Silva began her vigorous pursuit of Salsa dance in 2000. At the same time, she began conceptualizing a live Salsa music and dance eventfundraiser that would help support a deserving cause. In only five weeks time, Silva secured a venue, hired a band, assembled volunteers, and hosted what became her first success story as a promoter; a cause which raised funds to help feed numerous deserving children from the Kids Kingdom Orphanage in Ensenada, Mexico.
