Teaching language: 

We take care about communication, it's an important part of the experience. 90% of the workshops are tought in english, only Cuban Flex and Royma don't teach completly in English

Location:

Our location is not just a location, it's a place full of history and art. Atelier Gardens is situated in the Bufa film studios, built in 1913, one year after Babelsberg, the first film studio in the world. Moreover it was secretly cofinanced by the government of the german Reich back then to use it as a propaganda instrument. the studios were not destroyed during the WWII, only one of the studios was bombed. famous world known movies were taken here, this is also the place where Marlene Ditrich had her breakthrough with he movie "Blue Angel" before the became international. 

To make it short, this offers a unique space for our workshops, with enough dancing space for much bigger crowd than the number of our tickets. The 8 meters high cielings offers also perfect circulation for the parties and the workshops.

 The main hall where we also had the concert from Maykle Blanco 20 years anniversary was redesigned by a famous architects, which adds more elegance and uniqueness to the whole experience. The location offers one of the best sound systems in Berlin, so you sure are going to notice the crystal clear sound. 

The organizers: 

The event is organized by two friends that are actually totally different: Tamboly is a well known award winning professional photographer that developed his passion to the salsa dance 6 years ago when he had a burnout. Now he is managing the Berlin Salsa Community, a whatsapp community with ca. 3000 Salsa dancers from Berlin and he is also a DJ playing is several parties and clubs in Berlin. 

Odin is from Cuba, he used to teach in Havana before he moved to Berlin in 2019, Odin is spending half of his time in the gym lifting waits with no clear reason, he calls it decipline. He is also managing the Berlin Salsa Community with Tamboly. 

These two charismatic guys are complimenting each others, which makes it perfect: While Tamboly takes care of the details, locations, finances and marketing, Odin takes care of the logistics and thats things get done and that everythings work according to plan, beside communication with artists. 

Both of them decide on everything together though, from the choice of artists, plan of the event, workshop plan etc. 

this is just the beginning! This isn’t just another festival—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with passion, connection, and the best of Cuban dance.
Get ready… March 2026 will be legendary.
