The first ever Brit Salsafest will take place on February 3-5, 2006 at the spectacular Winter Gardens venue in Blackpool. The programme will feature a jam-packed weekend of salsa events including; three nights of dance parties in the glorious Empress Ballroom, 60 hours of workshops and master classes, three nights of world-class salsa performances, local and international teachers and performers, an onsite salsa marketplace and the best salsa music from top local and international DJ’s.
“The event really is a multicultural one with dancers booked from Taiwan, Russia, South Africa, India, UAE among many others, so for salsa dancers it’s an opportunity to try out their skills and learn new ones with fresh faces and perhaps bump into folk you haven’t seen since that congress in NY!” says organiser Emma Moore.
