Mambo Sisters is one of Sweden’s most famous salsa dance groups who dance with a cool "On 2" style. Among its members are several dance instructors and winners of the Miss Salsa contest and other major competitions in Sweden.
- Who's Who in the Group.
Laia Kinnunen

In 1999 she moved to the UK where she improved her style. She masters all salsa styles, i.e. Cuban, Colombian, Los Angeles style as well as New York style on 2. In 2005, with her partner Alberto Anturi, they came 2nd in the Swedish Championships for couples. They also came 2nd in the Nordic Open Salsa Championships in Denmark in 2006.
When Laia is not dancing or teaching salsa she practices tango and Kung Fu. She is also a student of anthropology at Stockholm University.
Anna Dahlberg
Anna a promising tennis player as a teenager, started salsa classes in 2001 and has not looked back since. She is one of the founding members of the Mambo Sisters. She has continued to improve her dancing through frequent trips to international salsa congresses and, more recently, by taking ballet classes.
Anna works as an editorial writer at Expressen, the second largest newspaper in Sweden and travels around the world to countries such as Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.
Recently, she was awarded the Golden Pen, which is considered to be one of the most prestigious prizes among Swedish journalists.
Pilar Anturi
