Salsa in the city!
Tauranga is going to be taken over this Labour weekend by hundreds of salsa teachers and dancers from all over Aotearoa taking part in the Bay Salsa Festival on October 21-23. Cancelled last year due to Covid-19, the festival is returning, with dancers – such as
Tauranga’s Paula Molina and Alvaro Jimenez pictured – keen to spice it up! At least 40 Latin dance experts will join local teachers to run an intense two days and three nights of workshops, parties for hundreds of salsa students, and a performance showcase
that’s open to the public. “Even non-dancers will enjoy the dance show on Saturday night,” says Karen. “It really is spectacular. “People who want to try Latin dance for the first time are also welcome along to beginners’ classes – and those who are already
on their dance journey will upskill in the more advanced classes.” The event is run by volunteers to ensure festival proceeds are put towards supporting Kiwi dancers on the world stage. Read more on page 10. Photo John Borren.
