Jacopo & Linda | Italy
Due to popular demand, please welcome back @jacopoylinda for World Salsa Solo 2026 🇮🇹
Sibling goals? More like salsa royalty.
Straight out of Brescia, Italy, Jacopo & Linda have been turning heads and stealing hearts since they burst onto the international salsa scene. While most teenagers were figuring out homework, Jacopo was already performing professionally at just 15, with Linda following at the incredible age of 11.
Their talent, connection and effortless chemistry have taken them to some of the world’s most prestigious stages, earning them a reputation as one of the most loved and in-demand couples in salsa. But here’s the real flex: they were personally mentored by the legendary Mambo King Eddie Torres, who proudly considers them his children, heirs and ambassadors to the global salsa community.
In 2017, they officially launched J&L, creating their signature J&L Style; a breathtaking blend of authentic New York Mambo, elegance, musicality and fresh, modern flair. It’s sophisticated, it’s exciting, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with.
From performing on hit television shows like Dancing with the Stars to headlining the world’s biggest salsa festivals, teaching sold out workshops and judging elite international competitions (including world championships) Jacopo & Linda continue to inspire dancers across the globe.
World class talent. Unmatched chemistry. Pure Italian magic.
Get ready… because when Jacopo & Linda hit the floor, you won’t just watch, you’ll be completely captivated.
