What Our International Guests
Say About Us
“What an awesome congress! I would say that the Sydney Salsa Congress is one of the top three congresses in the world." (2007 Sydney Salsa Congress). Virtually every woman I danced with followed me flawlessly. They were light, fast, and easy to lead as well.“ (2005 Sydney Salsa Congress) Al "Liquid Silver" Espinoza,
 “The difference between the Australian Congresses and others from around the world is that everyone, and I mean everyone, is so friendly and pay attention to you. From the Security guy to the Organisers. You don’t really get that in London.” Super Mario, (London)

A note from the Directors
During the event we were constantly catching ourselves thinking...What an incredible industry to be part of it. Organising the Sydney Latin Festival feels like organising a big family gathering - everyone from each state and different countries coming together to dance, to learn, to have fun and to share joy. We know we are part of something very special that is unique and not often found in other dance industries around the world and we are grateful for that. We promise you to not take it for granted!
- Marcia, Jaime and Angela
2013 Sydney Latin Festival dates are 31st January to the 3rd of February
Curiosities About the 2012 SLF
During SLF 2012 we found this very interesting fact:
Did you know that Larissa Thayane (From Kadu & Larissa) and Anita Santos (from Adriana & Anita)come from the same State in Brazil called Parana both have studied Ballet at the same school in Curitiba and also both have moved to Rio de Janeiro to further study and develop their skills and again they were at the same Dance school? Everything happened during different times for them and only now during the Sydney Latin Festival 2012 their found out they have all these things in common.
I was wondering who are these incredible teachers who gave them so much knowledge and belief for them to become one of the World’s Best Performers, pretty incredible, hey! Facebook Fun Photos & JC Professional Photos
