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.

Salsa in Berlin: The Best Clubs for Latin Music

Europe / Germany / Berlin

Salsa hit Europe like a pandemic, spreading from the jazz clubs in the big cities and hitting Germany in the 1980s. No wonder Salsa found so many followers – the Latin beats get directly under the skin and the rhythm moves hips and hearts just by itself. There is a sense of freedom in the music, and the widespread habit of Salseros asking Salseras for a dance makes it a piece of cake to meet new people in a relaxed and unrestrained atmosphere.

Salsa in Berrlin

Berlin is famous for its nightlife and the immense diversity of scenes on offer for all kinds of people, tastes, and styles. Hence, it goes without saying that Germany’s capital has a thriving Salsa scene. Every year in October, it finds its peak during the three-day Berlin Salsa congress with famous Salsa stars from all over the world and around 6,000 participants.

But Berlin wouldn’t be the nightlife capital if it didn’t have a Salsa party every night of the week. Here are the best of the best Salsa parties in town to get hips swinging.

In an outstanding historical atmosphere, you can shake a leg every Monday. The so-called mirror hall is a secret tip in the Berlin club scene. Built in the late 1800s, the flair of the Wilhelminian era is still present in this location. Furthermore, it has a wonderful wooden dancing floor and is highly frequented by true Salseros in Berlin.

Salsa parties at this location are organized by the Salsa dance school Cumbancha, which is located in Kreuzberg. They always draw in a huge crowd of Salseros and Salseras, where everyone kind of knows each other and which gives these parties a very familiar atmosphere, although the uninitiated should not be put off, these are friendly folks!

  1. Monbijoupark

Monbijou Park | © Palickap/WikiCommonsThis is definitely the most beautiful location to dance in Berlin, although there is the small drawback that it is closed during the winter. That just heats the anticipation for the next spring, and, frankly, being outside in Berlin’s winter is a zany plan, even if you are dancing. So when winter starts to abate, and this open air location reopens its dance floor directly in front of the Bodemuseum on Museum Island, things start to swing. Even Tango and Swing lovers can enjoy their hobby; just visit their website for more details when they play which style of music.
