Heriberto Perez was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico and has been dancing since the age of seventeen. While completing his BFA from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 1998, Heriberto danced as a hobby, shared his love for dance with others, and learned more about dance every chance he could get. When he moved to Pittsburgh, PA in 1998 he persued his love for dancing full throttle in Lindy Hop, Salsa/Mambo and Argentine Tango. He is a favorite leader wherever he goes due to his smooth lead and creative and fun movement.

Since taking up dance as a second career in 2001 Heriberto has performed with his Argentine Tango coach, Carina Losano (Washington, DC) and Rebecca Sweet (Cleveland, OH) in such venues as the Cleveland Playhouse, Severance Hall and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are regularly featured dancers for the Tri-C Jazz Festival’s Salsa Picante Events and performed with Larry Harlowe and Johnny Pacheco.

Heriberto is proud to be a competitive Pro-Am Ballroom Competitor in the US and Canada and has also judged the recent "Viva la Salsa" contest in Cleveland, OH at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Heriberto is always eager to be part of the growing community of dancing in Ohio and surrounding areas. Heriberto Perez is an award winning graphic designer by trade and has his own company Taino Design.
