Berlin Salsa Congress in continuous operation since 2001 continues to unite dance lovers worldwide, and although in this edition they will not offer parties on the beach, sea, or pool, attendees will be able to enjoy amazing choreography Bootcamps for the Super Advanced level. To these pieces of training were added a series of workshops (during the day and outdoors) for those who want to improve their skills.

Likewise, they will also present the best Stargate shows at night-inside on three dance floors. The high-level social dance will take place from noon to midnight (and Saturday will be intensive), while on Sunday, they will present the results of the bootcamps and the winner of the Stargate Shows.

Also, during the weekend of this Salsero Congress, you will meet an incredible lineup of DJs from the world community in Berlin, who will rock the dance floor and keep you dancing until dawn.

And as usual, there will be Heroes of the Dance Floor. A group of the best social dancers gathered to make you learn some of the best dances of the moment.

The atmosphere will be incredible and just memorable!

Stargate Shows

Stargate shows offer the opportunity for student teams and any artist to showcase their talents to an international audience. The winners are chosen by the public and will be a winner every day. The winners of each day will be presented at the only showcase on Sunday at 9 PM.

Like last year, the Stargate Shows will be broadcast LIVE on the Internet. In 2021, they had about 1,200 daily viewers, and this year they will upload all Stargate shows to their official YouTube channel. Through this platform, an online survey will be conducted where they will select an additional Online Stargate Winner who will grant an extra chance to win. The winners of this online poll will get free access to the 2023 event.
