Starting as Buffalo Latin Nights and molding into the Monarch Dance Company in winter of 2013, this scene has grown exponentially. The original alliance of multiple Latin Dance entities then inspired Jason E. Robinson to create a Buffalo dance company that teaches many styles of Latin, African, and Caribbean dance. "Working as the Executive Creative Director alongside the owner, has motivated me to focus on the promotional aspects of the company within the WNY market and beyond. We collaborate and envelope growing organizations whom have the same passion and are looking to work together to unite, develop, and perpetuate cultural dance history."www.MonarchsofDance.com FACEBOOK:/MonarchDanceCo/groups/LatinNights/BuffaloSalsa
