There is too much to report here so I will stick to the top three highlights.
I have been to about a dozen salsa congresses over the years and I can honestly say this one was the best ever. I don't say that lightly. I had attended my first Afro-Cuban Music & Dance Festival in Boulder, Colorado in August of last year and figured that a salsa congress would not be able to match up anymore. Not.

Congress or Carnival?

Posted December 14th, 2007 by Heather

The Chicago Salsa Congress and the Winter Salsa Carnival in Toronto are only a month apart. I'd love to go to either of them but can't afford both.

So those who have been - which is better? or if you can't decide, what are the pros/cons of both.

Thanks!!

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.
