We told you so! The London Salsa Congress/UK Lambada and Samba Congress was a weekend of full on Latin madness. There was non-stop dancing from Friday ‘til Monday at a host of wild parties - including Scalalatina at the Scala, Pentonville Road, Kings Cross and a bevy of dance shows from some of the hottest instructors and performers around.
Top talent included US dance company, Salsa Salvaje, making their debut in the UK. This is the crew to watch - fresh, raw, street wise, lyrical and burning up with Salsa spirit. We’ve got ‘em on video - along with the amazing Orville Small and Sabrina - and we’ll be posting clips shortly.
And London Salsa Scene was there, capturing the vibe, you guys on the floor and enjoying one of the best Salsa/Latin events this year. Well done to the crew at the Latin Collective! www.latincollective.co.uk
