Daniel Enskat
Meet BAILA Society

Daniel holds Master's Degrees in History, Politics and Law, and speaks six languages fluently, currently studying his seventh language, Mandarin. He was born in Germany and the United States awarded him an O-Visa status to work in the U.S. as a "person with extraordinary abilities in business" in the field of international finance as a Managing Director.

He also had studied Jazz guitar and music theory and his love for music and dancing, combined with his passion for history and culture, led him to study the musical and cultural roots of Salsa, both the dance and the music.

As a professional tennis player, martial artist and part-time model, Daniel used his athletic abilities to study many different dance forms including ballet, jazz dance, and ballroom, before focusing exclusively on New York Salsa "on 2".

Prior to founding BAILA Society with Ahtoy WonPat-Borja and Joseph Rivera, Daniel trained and performed with Santo Rico in Spanish Harlem in New York, at events such as the New York Salsa and Puerto Rico Salsa Congress, and throughout the United States as well as internationally.

Since forming BAILA Society with Daniel Enskat and Joseph Rivera, Ahtoy and Daniel have performed and taught both domestically and internationally at Salsa congresses, cruises, and excursions, side by side with dancers such as Frankie Martinez, Eddie Torres, Santo Rico, Tito & Tamara, Hacha y Machete, Liz Lira, Al "Liquid Silver" Espinoza, Masacote, Art in Motion, and many more.

Ahtoy and Daniel have also performed for senatorial political fundraisers, at New Year's celebrations at the world-renowned Waldorf Astoria in New York, and have appeared on television for exclusive interviews to educate the general public on the art and sophistication of Salsa. In addition to Ahtoy and Daniel's solo dance careers, BASo has a team of dedicated professional dancers and instructors that perform and teach alongside them.
