San Diego Salsa Congress: Sept 19-21, 2008

San Diego California has a world-wide reputation for great weather, and it's a great tourist city. They've been growing a strong crop of salsa dancers for many years as well, and I hear good things about their progress.


In the third week of Sept they are having their second annual San Diego Salsa Congress. I have zero connection with the event, other than knowing there is nothing like taking classes during the days and dancing all night for a few days in a row.

Some excellent instructors and performers are scheduled to attend, and San Diego is always a great place to visit, even if you simply took in the ocean views and enjoyed the amazing weather.

Being totally focused on dancing is a real treat and a great way to improve quickly, so check it out if you can get away for the weekend starting September 19th, 2008.


When you go to events, you might want to check out these articles I wrote at while ago. They provide tips and tricks for getting the most from any salsa event, especially if you are new.

Most of the tips also apply to attending new clubs, because the social aspects apply to all situations. The third article applies directly to the ladies, and is club focused, but the principles overlap so I'm including it in the list.

Previous articles:
Why Don't the Guys Ask Me? (focused on ladies and clubs, but applies to events also)

PS: Again, I'm not associated with or teaching at this event.

Are you ever going to post a video of your dancing? It's been asked before, and for someone who writes hundreds of posts containing advice about all sorts of things, wouldn't it be nice for your readers to see what the result looks like?
