The Dallas Bachata Festival is a celebration in which Latin music and dance have a leading role, but there are so many other things to see besides that. Among the many things that this great event offers its assistants, we can include amazing dance workshops that specialise in salsa, bachata, kizomba, zouk, and many other dancing musical genres. That is why its organisation team has made a genuine effort to get the best instructors to teach the best classes their students have ever had. 

There was a lot of doubt about the realization the festival for the year 2021, as the Dallas Bachata Festival had previously been suspended last year. However, it was recently announced that its organizers have decided to hold it this year without any further delay. All efforts have been made to carry out this great set of activities, including the obedience of all the protocols required by the health authorities in order to avoid the spread of COVID-19 among those attending.

what about costs and dates?

Given that the event already has specific scheduled dates, costs, guests and activities have been announced via the festival’s official Facebook page. According to the information published on the aforementioned social network, the general admission ticket is $125 and gives you access to all programmed activities during the three days of the event. Taking into account that all this will take place in a luxurious hotel in the city, those interested can also book a room, which will cost $109 per night. In case they want to pay for a double room, the price must be over $129 per night.   

As of now, those who want to live the unwinding experience will be able to reserve their places at the event during the days of its realization, even if it has to be postponed once again. As it happened once before, the festival had to be postponed due to the spread of the pandemic, but the organizers were fast enough at the moment of responding to the return of the money invested by the attendees or using the payments made for the new dates. Now the same thing will happen here. If the event is canceled for any reason, buyers can be assured that their money will be refunded or pledged to the new dates. 

On August 8, the organisation team made some major announcements about the event. One of them refers to the overwhelming speed with which the remaining passes are selling, so those interested have to hurry up to get one. October 4 will be the day when the sale of tickets will close, as there will be no sale at the doors to the event.   

Another of the announcements made was the implementation of a health protocol for the protection of attendees from COVID-19, which includes a negative PCR result or a rapid antigen test to detect the presence of the virus.

Throughout the United States, there is a number of Latin music events have been taking place and their main purpose is to inspire artists and dancers from all over the world to visit those cities and show everyone present how talented they are. Burlingame Village, California has certainly not been left out. 

For the third consecutive year, the organizers of the San Francisco Salsa Bachata and Kizomba Congress have invested all their energy in providing one of the greatest Latin festivals that attendees have ever seen. Having had two extremely successful and widely attended previous editions, Those responsible for organizing the congress come back with a lot of very talented guests who are more than eager to share their dancing skills with those who wish to learn. 

We are talking about a large group of instructors from several countries who are ready to give spectacular workshops and shows on the most popular Latin genres of the moment such as salsa, bachata, and kizomba. All this is accompanied by great parties and social gatherings where students will be able to put into practice what they learn during the three days of this great experience. 

These workshops will be accompanied by fabulous shows where some of the best DJs will liven up the atmosphere, making use of a repertoire as diverse as it is lively. Of course, all the music used will be entirely based on the genres that will be taught during the dance classes.

What about the pandemic and costs

Although the previous editions were a resounding success and the organizers do what they can to make attendees wonder, it is also true that they are facing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused all of us to rethink our lives and projects rill things get better. As a result, the congress team has had to make a large package of changes in order to ensure that everyone who wants to attend the event feels safe and secure at all times. After ensuring that everything will be under control during the three days of the festival, they started the sale of tickets and reservations for rooms at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. 

According to the websites that offer information on the San Francisco SBK Congress, the cost of tickets may vary from $30 to $210 depending on what each pass includes. It was also reported that there will not be any refund, so ticket sale is final. It is expected that the sale is carried out throughout the month until Friday, October 31, when purchases will no longer be accepted. 

The dates scheduled for the congress will be 19, 20 and 21 November of the current year and the lucky ones to attend will have the opportunity to live with people from many other parts of the world, which makes this event a unique and unrepeatable experience.

The Fusion International Dance Competition is back in 2021

There are three (3) months until 2022 begins but we do not want to wait like many of our followers to see when the pending events will take place and in turn the opening of clubs, academies or places where we can hear music and dance; With the month of October already in full quarantine due to Covid-19, many people, including ourselves, adapt to the situation by complying with security measures and placing the vaccine to protect ourselves even more and with this it has been possible that many countries open their doors to carry out different social activities and in Mexico the Fusion Salsafest will be held live, not online as other events have been held due to the Covid-19 situation.

Fusión Salsafest started its first Salsa Bachata & Kizomba Congress on October 21, 2011 thanks to the effort led by Manolo Redondo together with his team and Fusión Dance Company, which is one of the most important companies in Mexico led by Tania Ortiz, to carry out one one of the most important salsa shows in the country showing the entire public the talent of each dancer in this fantastic competition and not only that, they also spread their teachings in the shows and workshops that they present to us every year.

After being inactive for a year (2020) to protect both they and their public from Covid-19, finally the organizers of the Fusion SalsaFest gave us the great news that after being locked up, without movement and without dancing, they end the wait by returning to us this October from 14 to 17, the festival taking place at the Courtyard by Marriott Ciudad de México Revolución, located at Av. Revolución 333, Tacubaya, Miguel Hidalgo, 11870 Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico.
