National Salsa Congress - Romania - 2026 (17ª Edición)
Super cool !!!! The venue was warn and large enough for many dancers. The music in SALSA was very good, the shows and the competitions were spectacular. Bachata and Kizomba had their own buildings, thus achieving great sound isolation. The skill level of dancers was high, especially for the followers.
This review would have been 5 stars, but I need to point some issues that will make this congress the best one in the East Europe:
1. Even though the smoking inside the ballrooms was forbidden and it was clearly signalized, some participants considered that they could smoke IQOS. Well this system still produces smoke and its nauseating.
2. The music sound was a little bit loud. I personally don't like loud music and I feel I can dance better when the music is at appropriate level.
3. The songs on the Bachata dance floor were repetitive and lacked diversion. The DJs played the most well known songs and then repeat them. Because of this I could only dance maximum two hours in Bachata while in Salsa, because the music was so good and well balanced, I could easily dance from 11 in the night until 7 next morning. It surprised me, because in general I prefer Bachata over Salsa and I thought, before the congress started, that I will spend my time on the Bachata floor, but I was easily saturated after two hours and went to Salsa where I had a great time.
Overall I had great time, the organization was great and this festival in now on my future participation list of dance events.
