Salsa Congress

Chicago International Salsa Congress 2009

Another year of the Chicago Salsa Congress and another great weekend to look forward to! Once again, many Detroit salseros will make their way to Chicago for yet another year of dancing, workshops, and top-notch performances. Unlike some of the other congresses that are temptingly located in great locations for shopping or playing on the beach, this one is by the airport and thus, it's all about dancing.

Quality of workshops, perfomances, dancing, overall cost and last years great improvement in service, make this a best value for the dollar congress.

Chicago Salsa Congress 2008

The Chicago Salsa Congress continues to light up the midwest salsa scene. No doubt plane, train and car loads of Detroit salseros will make their way to Chicago for another year for dancing, workshops and top notch performances. Unlike some of the other Congress that are temptingly located in great locations for shopping or playing on the beach, this one is by the airport and thus, it's all about dancing.

For the quality of workshops, perfomances, dancing and overall cost, in the humble opinion of this writer, this is the dollar for dollar best bet for a congress.

  • Where: The Westin O'Hare

    Rosemont, IL 60018
