New York International Salsa Congress Dance & Music Festival

The New York International Salsa Congress Dance & Music Festival opened my eyes to an art I had never really paid much attention to. I've always loved Muerenge dancing cause i found it to be the most active in hip movement. Bachata I can handle when I'm feeling emotional and intimate. Cumbia makes me feel like I'm in La Pollera Colorada . Reggaeton is to get down and dirty at the club. And Salsa on the other hand I always found to be a bit to complicating. I never really considered it in my dance life style because I only saw the older people doing it. I've attended dance festivals and performances but most of them being hip-hop or step. I have always considered dance both a sport and art. Its a beautiful motion you can be critical about and cheer for at the same time.

The New York International Salsa Congress is a time for people to come and share their latin dance with one another. Everyone has a different form of presentation with salsa. This event is so big, I met people 

from different countries around the world. Being able to record almost all the dances for this event 

brought me to actually pay attention to the way the dancers moved to the music. Whether it was through

their arms, legs, hips, or feet, people always pay close attention to the dance as a whole. I was able to 

look at it in pieces and eventually see how it came together as one. It honestly inspired me to go out there and dance Salsa.


Here are a few of the highlights:
