Visionaries are those that can imagine the future without evidence to support it, and then be the catalyst for change. A choreographer and dance instructor at Essence Dance Academy, Griselle Acosto makes our Top 10 list as the only Kizomba Dance instructor on the island. Kizomba is an Angolan/Portuguese music with a distinctly sensual partner dance style that has become popular globally as it’s begun to take on more urban influences. An internationally traveled dancer from the Salsa Congress community, she sees the inevitable dance revolution that is coming into Latin America via its dance competitions and forward-thinking artists like Farruko who are already making their first attempts at the genre. Doubling down as a public relations rep, she’s positioned herself as the liaison most likely to handle a dance getaway for the genre on the island.
