10th SALSA FESTIVAL HELD IN ROVINJ
Three thousand participants from forty countries in the world
In the last days of June and early July, the town of Rovinj traditionally hosted the biggest festival of hot South American rhythms – the Croatian Summer Salsa Festival. The 10th anniversary edition attracted more than three thousand participants from forty countries in the world who filled with dance, rhythm and good vibrations all available nooks and crannies of the town - the squares and old-town streets, beaches and seaside resorts, tourist resorts and campsites, as well as the magnificent halls of the former Tobacco Factory. These halls, together with the hotel premises, hosted wide range of dance workshops, for beginners as well as experienced dancers, led by 150 renowned instructors from all over the world.
The workshops were packed which also proves the perfect symbiosis of salsa and this beautiful town. The number of visitors and hosts, crazed with passion for this very sensual dance that leaves you breathless, is swelling due to performances of the exceptional dancers. The Marshal Tito Square hosted this fantastic show, which is, as usual, a gift for the people of Rovinj. It was swamped by new salsa aficionados and future participants of the next year's festival and new dance workshops.
"Grande Fiesta", where the top dancers unleashed some skilful and creative dance moves, displayed all the splendour and beauty of salsa. Besides beautiful dance moves and attractive rhythms, the obligatory salsa dress code was a capper on the charm of the whole experience. Again this year, the Jubilee Croatian Summer Salsa Festival was organized by Salsa Adria Productions and Los Mamberos dance club, with the support of the Tourist Board of the Town of Rovinj and Maistra Inc.
