Have you guys seen the show America's Got Talent? Well they have a salsa act that is in their top 8 for the first time. It is a brother and sister combination - Emily and Junior and they are very young, very fun to watch and very popular. The video above shows their audition footage.
I think it's great that salsa is so mainstream now that it can potentially win a talent show and that salsa dancers are confident enough about the dance to audition. We have to thank shows like So You Think You Can Dance for really showcasing the art form.
America's Got Talent is actually having the public vote for the winners. If you are interested in voting on the website visit http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/index.shtml. You can vote as many times as you like - I just voted once to cheer on my fellow salsa dancers.
Congratulations to Emily and Junior!!

I wrote about the competition Junior and Emily were in (they just launched a new dance team here in San Diego, CA):

As of right now I'm not sure if they made it.
