7. Is Berlin Salsacongress focused more on shows or social dancing?

Berlin Salsacongress is strongly focused on social dancing. Shows are limited to a curated showcase block, while the main dance floor remains dedicated to uninterrupted social dancing.

8. Is Berlin Salsacongress beginner friendly?

Berlin Salsacongress is designed mainly for dancers with at least some Salsa experience. Workshops start at an intermediate level, as we believe complete beginners usually learn more effectively in their local dance schools before attending a large international congress.

This helps create a stronger social dancing experience for everybody while allowing newer dancers to fully enjoy the event once they feel comfortable on the dance floor.
