Zoom International Salsa Congress

We are celebrating the last full weekend of the April lockdown with the first ever virtual salsa congress! Sign up for the early bird rate at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VEXBfaJ0TX2zU_ced0C1Hg

The Zoom International Salsa Congress was established to raise funds for healthcare worker safety and to make donations directly to the Latin dancers that are so important to our global dance community.

All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the N95 Mask Production Fund on GoFundMe that Rosana Lastra Castellucci (a physician within the salsa community) is heading - https://www.gofundme.com/f/n95-masks-prototype-to-production.

Tickets are $4 for access to the full congress if you buy ahead of time. Tickets purchased on the day of the congress will be $8, so be sure and purchase your ticket ahead of time!

Mark your calendars - Saturday, April 25th will be a day jam packed with live workshops and performances by some of the top salsa and bachata dancers in the world! During each live session, you'll have the opportunity to donate directly to your favorite dancers and ask questions live.
