VIVA LATIN SUMMER

The festival was very nice, but the music in the kizomba dancing room was too loud in the evening. The air condition in the big bachata room on the third floor and on Sunday night was not good. So it was almost too hot too dance in the evening

I am very disappointed with this festival. DJ Nice Life was announced and even included in the official schedule, but he never performed, and no explanation was given.
The workshops, which lasted only 20 minutes, were not convincing. The lighting on the Kizomba dance floor was poor, and the overall atmosphere was not enjoyable. Only on Sunday was the lighting good.
The DJ schedule was not followed, so it was impossible to rely on the official timetable.
Overall, the festival did not meet my expectations, and for this reason, I will not be attending again next time.

Saturday evening party: Main bachata room was wayyyy too hot; quite some people were annoyed about delayed shows as they wanted to dance and the small Bachata room wasn't open yet; kizomba room/small bachata room had great temperature; music was great; level was great.

The festival hotel was a good airport hotel, but too expensive and it was a big minus that there was no outdoor area or terrace. There were too few leaders - the balance was bad. Workshop schedule changes were not advertised - almost no workshops seemed to be at the correct times, causing me to miss at least 2 I really wanted to take. Many leaders could barely bother to dance and two male artists announced in class they would be dancing in the party between certain times but showed up much later and for a very short time. I actually missed them and someone who was there said they just did a “show” sharing one girl. Not good at all and I felt it showed disrespect to the followers who wanted to dance with them. Overall, I am sorry to say, the festival did not live up to my expectations and felt like a rip-off. I will not be attending Viva again.
