Hello To All My Salsa Friends,
I am organizing a trip to Cali, Colombia. I have visited Cali over 10 times in the last 3 years and this may truely be the Salsa Capital of the world. No salsero should miss this trip. The prices include 5 nights at the best 5 star hotel in Cali and much more. Only place I stay. Great security and very pleasant workers willing to help and show you that their country is not about what the news media wants us to believe.
I have met with the dancers this past week in addition to the Director of Culture, Director of Tourism and all their staff. They can't wait to open their arms and welcome you to their city.For the first time we are working together not only bringing dancers to perform, but bringing over 200 salsa lovers from all over theworld to learn from them and support them in their own country. These are the hardest working dancers I have ever met.
At the airport there will be a reception of over 100 of the dancers of all ages thanking you for coming to their country. Trips to dance schools, the qualifing rounds over 2-3 days to see who will represent Colombia at the World Salsa Championships in Orlando in December. Over 40 dance teams and 30 couples competing for this opportunity.
We will also have workshops by Colombian style dancers but also by international dancers. Watch children from 4 years old to adults over 80 years old performing in front of crowds of 20,000 fans. Don't miss this trip. Bring your tissues.
