2004 Salsa Congress

The 6th Annual West Coast Salsa Congress was by far the largest in the world.  It may even be the largest gathering of Dancers for an event that features Workshops by day, dancing to the best bands and shows featuring dancing and choreography from over 30 countries.  The 2004 Congress hosted 190 Dance Teams, over 2000 performers during the 8 taped evening shows and 3 afternoon shows.

The 6th Annual West Coast Salsa Congress was designed and managed by Benjamin Rapoport and his team.
