I have been looking for this video for years now, Hazel is one of the most beautiful and exotic mover on the Mumbai Salsa scene. Being a celebrity I am always surprised to see her at almost all the Salsa Parties in mumbai, right from the days of Bohemia. She just loves to Salsa. Deepak needs no introduction at all, he is the guy who has danced (and trained) with Prachi in Jhalak Diklaja.{watch video)

So guys this is a real treat if you have missed the NDTV coverage of Hazel and Deepak dancing, to watch Hazel and Deepak dancing live , just land up at one of the Salsa Parties.

You may know Ash as a actor comedian, but he is a inspiration to probably first batch of salsa enthusiasts in Mumbai, trained in london with Super Mario, when i saw him first do the salsa at Trafalgar chowk i  immediately put him as a Salsa God, but finding a video of him was very difficult, but i have managed a couple , sorry for the bad quality its was shot through a phone.
