Christina
Haggerty and Mike Ticas
Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Mike has been dancing in the Los Angeles salsa scene
since 1992. Christina's love for salsa brought her to Los Angeles in the
year 2000. Mike and Christina met each other in Salsa In The Mix dance
group where they traveled and performed for 5 years. These two choreograph
dynamic dance numbers that combine many music and dance styles with lively
salsa music and choreography. Their styles range from mysterious heavily
themed routines such as Vogue (Salsa in the Mix), to more traditional
salsa and Cha Cha Cha routines. All their shows captivate the audience
with hair-raising tricks, lifts, dips and turn combinations.
Their hard work and dedication have paid off with performances
in television & films; most recently seen on the CBS series "CANE."
They love to travel to Salsa festivals, professional competitions and
events all over the United States and abroad; their latest tour was to
The Philippines, Thailand, and Australia. Currently, they keep busy performing
and teaching in and out of Los Angeles to share their knowledge and spread
their passion for music and dance.
Salsa Extravaganza is proud to present Christina and
Mike every year at both Summer and New Year's Salsa Extravaganza.

Positive
Energy Dance Company
San Diego, California, U.S.A.
Directed by Michael and Camille.
Michael Saltus, a navy brat, realized as a child how
to adapt to each new environment his family moved into. This would help
create the very outgoing personality he now has. As a child he would find
discipline and a stong work ethic in the farm country. Here breaking horses
would teach him balance later used for sports and dancing. But the most
important reason he feels has helped him in his journey into the dance
world is hitting the gym. The hard work and long hours here has given
him a healthier life style and kept him injury free. It has also enabled
him to play three sports in high school, two in college and dance still
today. All the team experiences has taught him a lot with growth of his
own dance company.......He would start dancing Western Jitterbug at the
end of high school and into college. Thus, being introduced for the first
time to tricks and lifts. While playing football and track for the Griz
at the University of Montana, Michael started taking jazz for flexibility
and balance. The UofM would also bring him a BA in Psychology and start
him with his other passion, acting. It wasn't until he moved to San Diego
that he started dancing and performing with the Pacific Repertoire Jazz
and Ballet Company, here he learned par a deu (ballet partnering). It
was also at this time he would venture more into acting and modeling.
Over the next few years he would be with several different acting agencies.
Experiencing student and independent films and commercials.......By 2000,
he had given all these dances including ballroom a chance but it was salsa
that would match his true energy and passion. His first night meeting
Camille Yannantuono in a club was all it took to realize they fit. They
would start competing and dancing daily and are still going strong today.
Michael wanted to learn and grow from others so he joined several teams.
Rumba Rica in 2002, followed by Majesty in Motion 2003 and Son y Pasos
2004. He would learn the philosophies and styles from each director for
dancing on 1 and on 2........It wasn't until 2005 Michael and his partner
Camille would start their own company, Positive Energy Dance. The company
currently performs salsa as well as fusion of salsa with-Waltz, Argentina
Tango, Swing, hip-hop and others. Positive Energy is one the largest Salsa
Companies in San Diego with a total of 30 members and 5 choreographers.
+Energy is also one of top performing companies with over 200 shows in
less than 2 years.
