The 2007 Salsorro- The Place to Be

From its early days, salsa was a very popular dance that combined styles and rhythms from North America, Latin America, the Caribbean s and had a strong influence from Africa. As times changed, so did salsa and today it is more flirtatious and more sensual, which made this dance style even more appealing to the public.

Salsa left its home country and traveled the world, being popular in countries like the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany. Because of its growing popularity, salsa festivals started to be held all over the world. These festivals soon turned into salsa congresses, due to the increasing number of participants and today we can even talk about world salsa congresses.

However, there are some salsa congresses that stand out from the others. Salsorro is one of them.
