Latinissimo Dancers off to represent NZ in Sydney!
Greetings!


SSCIts time for the 7th Annual Sydney Salsa Congress! Latinissimo C-Team, Gian & Masha and Tania & Enrique will be representing New Zealand at one of the biggest Salsa dance conventions in world!

Below is a quick itinerary for Latinissimo dancers on the weekend in Sydney.

Thursday 27 January - Most Latinissimo dancers arrive this day. Its the warm-up night and student night when most, if not all, Australian student teams perform in the evening. Social dancing until late.

Friday 28 January - Starts off with a full day of workshops by national & international guests during the day. Gian & Masha arrive in Sydney at 8:00am and will be conducting a workshop after lunch. In the evening Latinissimo C-Team is performing infront of an expected audience of 1,200+ people! Then, social dancing until late.

gian_masha_taniaSaturday 29 January - Is the biggest day/night at the Congress. The day starts off with another day full of workshops. Tania & Enrique are performing a brand new Paso/Samba/Jive showpiece routine at the Day Showcase. Then at night is when the "heavyweights" of Salsa come out and play! Luckily Gian and Masha are "workshop free" during the day, which gives them time to get some rest and prepare to perform at night infront of an expected audience of 2,000 people!! It is the premier of Gian & Masha's new, pumping Salsa routine! Amazing social dancing til late!

Sunday 30 January - The last day at the Congress. Another day full of workshops from morning til night by top notch instructors. Gian & Masha will be conducting a 2nd workshop this day. More performances at night and social dancing til late.

FAQ: Is a Salsa Congress a competition? No, to keep it short - its like a convention or exhibition where salsa dance enthusiasts, instructors and schools (from many parts of the world) gather for a full weekend of learning, sharing and displaying what they do and how the do everything that falls under the category of Salsa or "street Latin".
