Beijing Salsa Festival (2005)
October 14, 2005
I remember my first trip to Beijing back in 2001 and being surprised to find Salsa. At the time salsa was to be found at SALSA CABANA. Unfortunately that location is now a car dealeship. But the good news is that Salsa in Beijing is stronger than ever. You can find Salsa dancing 7 days a week. Come meet and dance with the guest International Instructors from around the world. We will also enjoy music by the #1 Salsa DJ in the world Henry Knowles. Also all of the guest instructors will do a short demonstration for us. Let’s kick off the festival with a hot night of dancing Nov.2 (Wed.) Venue: Latinos Venue: Latinos Don’t miss the first found of the 1st Beijing Amateur Salsa Competition!
