2010 New Jersey Salsa Congress

April 28th, 2009 Allan Tabilas Posted in dance |

It’s official! In April 2010, the Sheraton Meadowlands hotel in East Rutherford will be the home of the first annual New Jersey Salsa Congress.

Mario “B” Gonzales and the staff from the Salsa Fever on2 Dance Academy announced the big news at its NJ Mambo Night Out party in Newark this past Saturday.  Even we were not aware of the news until 30 minutes before the actual announcement (Special thanks to Mary Jane from Salsa Fever, who told us to be ready for something big at the party).

Mario has wanted to do a large event in his home state for some time, as New Jersey hasn’t hosted a large scale event in recent years besides the 2006 NY/NJ Salsa Festival (Nelson Flores and Luis Zegarra).  The performer and instructor, who is also recovering from a major car accident, aims to bring together the different salsa schools, students, and dancers together for a four day weekend with live music, workshops, and parties.

Visit the official congress website in the coming months for information regarding scheduled artists, musicians, and more.
