It was more than we expected.
Sometimes, there were too much people.

Next time it would be great if there are variety design of t-shirts, also oversize women's crop tops. I hope there will be for the summer edition. Also the price of 30eur I think is too much for a t-shirt!

As a salsa dancer..
Nice hotel (about 30-40 minutes away by taxi; Uber's are cheaper and recommended rather than the hard sell by the hotel's taxi company). The venue has everything under one roof. They even arranged food to sell to dancers. The restaurant's open buffet is decently priced.

Overall well organised.

The event is, however, more catered to and has a heavy focus on bachata (most of the attending dancers).
Lots of open-level workshops- targeted at a large range of levels. It was challenged by last-minute scheduling, and the salsa workshops were often unclear whether it was On1/On2, footwork, etc.

Afternoon socials: 65-70% bachata with the rest salsa.
The main large salsa floor at night takes a while to get started - often starting with a bit of bachata when shows overrun.
A few of the artists work the social dance floor in the social though unsurprisingly don't expect to see them for more than 1-2 hours, often near the stage and in high demand.
It has a great-quality dancefloor, though it feels packed, with everyone gathered around the front.
Music- little salsa dura, expect Cuban, Romantica, salsa's top 100 hits and the usual chacha line up..

The local and social dancers seem to attend the night parties only- you'll find some unknown gems, but you'll need to search hard unless you've a friend.
Do you have any questions?

Contact the organizer for any questions about the event!
