The World Salsa Federation World Salsa Championships - presented every year by the World Salsa Federation, unites Salsa aficionados and artists of all levels from professional to amateur in dance and music. A universal fervor for Latin entertainment continues to grow. Salsa has risen to the forefront of popular modern dance and is considered by many to be the most exciting and sensual form of popular dance today. Salsa dancing and music have captivated the hearts and souls of people from around the world.

 

The 2008 WSF World Salsa Championships and Festival attracted over 3,500 attendees of that, 900 people came from over 15 countries and 60 cities from around the U.S. to participate in the 3-days festivities, seminars, workshops and competitions. Some of the renowned artists and celebrities who have attended and participated in the past include: Tito Puente Jr. and Willie Chirino, Hansel, Pedro Jesus, Willie Panama, Roberto Torres and Grupo Niche to name a few.

 

The WSF World Salsa Championships and Festival has earned the distinction as the number one Salsa Competition and Festival to attend, and has attracted enormous press attention. In 2002, TVC-Television aired a special two-hour program about the World Salsa Championships in prime time, showing the Showdance Competition and interviews with a wide range of the attendees - from the competitors and judges, to the teachers, exhibitors and salsa dancers from around the world. Many press organizations covered the event last year. Some of the press attention included America TV, Telecaribe, Caracol Radio, Sabor Magazine, Latin Beat Magazine, Dance Beat Newspaper, Miami Herald, USA Today, Telemundo, UNIVISION, as well as the local affiliates of ABC, NBC, and CBS to name a few.

 

This year, the 2009 WSF World Professional Salsa Championships promises to be even more exciting. Salsa lovers from around the world are already making their arrangements to attend. The World Salsa Federation standardized salsa for competition, certifies teachers and promotes Salsa dancing all over the world. The biggest amateur sport organization in the United States, the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), recognized the World Salsa Federation (WSF), as the official organization for all their regional and national competitions including the AAU Junior Olympic Games.   We will host a qualifying event for the Junior Olympic Games 2010 and we will have young athletes-dancers from the ages 6 to 20 participating and competing, to get a spot in the elite group that will go to the 2010 AAU Junior Olympic Games.
