Salsa dancers congregate in Salt Lake City, and that’s no sin.

“Enter the first annual Salt Lake City Salsa Congress. And what precise miscellany does a “congress” entail? According to organizer and producer Jago Ayllon, “A congress is pretty much the top representation of a city in regards to the salsa scene.”

We’re talking about dozens of workshops delivered by some of the top names in dance instruction. Music will be generated by one of the giant names in salsa orchestration, Colombia’s Sonora Carruseles. On the hardwood will be more than 40 performances showcasing some of the world’s liveliest salsa practitioners. Leading salsa DJs will spin an assortment of your favorites late into the deep dark night. And there will be the showdown of all showdowns to crown the best salsa competitor in town. In short, all things salsa does a salsa Congress make””and the fact that Salt Lake City can now play host to its very first is the ultimate testament to a skyrocketing local salsa scene.”
