A Miami-born artist with Argentine roots, Denisse Cambria is equal parts educator and showstopper—and a proven champion. With her partner Ernesto Bulnes, she’s earned multiple world titles, while also racking up multiple team world championships with The New York Movement and with her own Tampa-based company, Irôko— including four World Championship titles. That pedigree powers a teaching style known for crisp technique, fearless musicality, and generous, student-first coaching.
Denisse built her foundations in Florida, sharpened her edge in Milan with Euphoria Dance Company, and rose to prominence in New York with Yamuleé and later The New York Movement. Today, she co-directs Irôko Dance Academy in Tampa with Ernesto, fusing New York mambo precision with Afro-Cuban sabor and a performance culture that turns students into teammates.
As performers and coaches, Ernesto & Denisse, and their Irôko teams, are among the most sought-after acts on the international salsa-congress circuit, headlining festivals across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
