Ana Saoco is a salsa instructor from Cali, Colombia, who teaches in New York and New Jersey. She specializes in salsa caleƱa and body movement, with classes that develop coordination through the hips and waist as well as individual styling.
Ana directs Salseras, a training program offered in person and online. Her work through Saoco Wellness also brings strength, mobility and heels training into her approach to movement. She teaches at studios including LWL in Jersey City and Ritmo Latino.
In addition to her regular classes, Ana teaches at international dance events. She joined Juan Carlos to teach a Colombian salsa bootcamp at the 2026 Sydney Salsa Mambo festival, and her dance collaborations have also included Kevin Gallego.
Her teaching connects Caliās salsa tradition with detailed movement training. Students work on the coordination needed for footwork and styling, while her in-person and online programs provide different ways to study with her beyond a single festival workshop.
