Our Story

 


Like many moms, at the end of her maternity leave, Jennifer Torres struggled with the thought of returning to full-time work.  One day a friend suggested combining a passion for Latin dance with her desire to be home with her daughter. Shortly after, Salsa Babies™was born.

To Jennifer’s delight, what started as a small company so that she could stay home with her kids, has had a domino effect, and is now enabling other women to have the same flexibility and control over their lives. By essentially running their own businesses, Salsa Babies™licensees still have time for their families while becoming successful entrepreneurs, spreading Salsa Babies™ classes across Canada, the United States and beyond!

We are a company that believes in women supporting women - whether by offering career alternatives for busy moms, supporting teenage mothers by offering free classes, mentoring, and in some cases training to become an instructor, or simply by lifting the spirits of new moms experiencing baby blues.  Time and again it is a thrill to hear the feedback of participants in our classes, how much they look forward to the class and the difference it makes in their daily lives. They feel energized, motivated, empowered, and reminded about the importance of getting out, having fun, meeting friends, all the while bonding with baby. We hope your experience with Salsa Babies™will be just as positive!

 

 
 

Salsa Babies Philosophy

 
 


Salsa Babies™is not just a class, but also an attitude. Salsa is about moving your hips and feeling the music, so we remind our moms that they can still be cool, sexy, strong and beautiful women.  Salsa Babies™celebrates motherhood and all that comes with it, including breast-feeding, fussy babies, and the occasional spit-up on the floor!

Salsa Babies™welcomes participants from all cultures, religions and socio-economic backgrounds and does not discriminate. Salsa (the Spanish word for “Sauce”) is a blend of various musical genres with influences from different countries. Similarly, Salsa Babies™ believes that bringing women of different backgrounds together to share in a common interest at a special time in their lives, creates it’s own special flavour and brings a richness to all involved.

Salsa Babies™ believes in strong family values, and respects the fact that in today’s world a “family” can be comprised in many different ways. Salsa Babies™ encourages creativity in finding a work/family balance, and fully supports its own licensees and instructors in scheduling work to accommodate their families’ needs as well.

Salsa Babies™ believes in forming positive, co-operative relationships with other businesses in the same industry, and in giving back to our community.
