Stargate – The International Salsa Show Competition
STARGATE! YOU MUST HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS.
Incredible atmosphere
The Stargate shows at the Berlin Salsacongress are famous for their electrifying atmosphere, creating a unique experience that's hard to find elsewhere. These dance performances leave audiences in awe. But don’t just take our word for it—experience the amazing moments from Stargate 2024 on our YouTube channel!
What is different this year
Since BSC 2024, we've made some exciting changes to the Stargate schedule at the Berlin Salsacongress to benefit both performers and attendees. This year, the Stargate shows will take place on Friday at 11 PM and Saturday at 3:30 PM, with no Stargate shows on Sunday. This adjustment allows those who can't stay until Monday to enjoy the dance performances and gives performers time to participate in our Afternoon Socials on Sunday. With no Stargate on Sunday, we can also maximize time for social dancing that evening.

The Stargate shows at the Berlin Salsacongress provide an amazing opportunity for student teams and performers to showcase their dance performances to an international audience. The excitement builds as winners are selected based on audience cheers, creating a thrilling atmosphere. While our audience supports every team, there is ultimately only one winner each day.
