4th annual World Salsa Championships - December 16-19,2009

Posted on August 6th, 2009 by Allan Tabilas

In the latest Albert Torres newsletter from August 5, the dates for the delayed 4th annual World Salsa Championships have been announced for December 16-19, 2009, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  The venue has yet to be announced.

First started in 2005, the World Salsa Championships is promoted by a group called the Salsa Seven.  Led by Albert Torres and ESPN producer Rob Beiner, the first two events (held in Las Vegas) built the foundation to bring salsa dancing to the mainstream.  Buzz and word spread quickly, and the 3rd annual event was broadcast in the U.S.  and international markets on ESPN and was hosted at Disney’s Coronado Springs.   Unfortunately, the 4th annual event was postponed in 2008, even though many dancers had already qualified for the semi-final round of the championships.

We hope the venue is announced soon.  Thanks to all the hard work from Albert Torres and the Salsa Seven.
