Jayson Molina has been in the Salsa business for over 20 years. Starting at the age of 8, Molina began under the guidance of mambo king, Eddie Torres and has grown artistically as a dancer to be one of the headliners of salsa congresses worldwide. He is one of the reasons why people travel thousands of miles across the globe to events like the Puerto Rico Salsa Congress and West Coast Salsa Congress, attracting over 20,000 people annually.

Jayson has been teaching ever since the age of 12, growing up in New York City where the soul in Salsa comes from. Molina has traveled the world spreading the Salsa fever and creating international awareness everywhere his path has taken him. He has shared the stage with stars such as, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, La Sonora Ponceña, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Tito Nieves, Tito Rojas and Oscar D’Leon. Molina was one of the first to bring Salsa to Europe and because of his love for teaching; he opened up his own dance school in Rome, Italy in 2001. He lived there for almost 4 years dancing with his current partner, Alessandra Lo Piero, and directing his group, Los Rompecabezas, who recently celebrated their Five Year Anniversary with a stellar show at the 2005 Puerto Rico Salsa Congress with an anthological piece highlighting his most famous choreographies. 

Molina spends about 50 percent of his time away from home – attending congresses, teaching workshops, performing, choreographing and training groups. Apart from Italy and Puerto Rico, he has trained dance companies in places like Spain, Venezuela, Chicago, California, and Germany. Jayson is currently in the process of opening up another exclusive dance school in Puerto Rico, where he resides during the week and is not traveling abroad.
