The Beautiful Spirit of Canada • The Passion of Dance • The Intensity of Competition • The Drive for Excellence • Unifying a Community of Dancers • Celebrating Talent and Creativity • Promoting the Culture, Flavour and Style of Salsa…The 2008 Canada Salsa Congress!
The Canada Salsa Congress is the largest salsa dance festival ever staged in Canada and is an annual event which celebrates the diverse and creative talents of salsa dancers coming together from across the country and all over the world. This premier 4 day event provides a forum to showcase Canadian talent as well as to expose the Canadian dance scene to some of the most innovative and inspirational instructors and performers from around the world. Over the past 5 years, the event has motivated, enhanced and elevated the dance training of over twenty thousand dance teachers, students, performers and dance aficionados- and this year only gets better!
We are pleased to announce that the Canada Salsa Congress will play host again to the Annual Canadian Salsa Championships. This official qualifying competition will send first place winners in each division to represent Canada at the 2008 World Salsa Championships in December to be held in Disney World, Florida and broadcast by ESPN.
This year’s Canada Salsa Congress features an outstanding lineup of performers, elite instructors, and intense competitors. We look forward to providing a weekend where professional dancers, beginner students, social dancers, choreographers, instructors and musicians are able to nurture their talent and develop a deeper love and appreciation of salsa dancing.
