Rovinj was the host of the three-day salsa festival for the fourth year in a row. The festival brought more than 700 students of this energetic and passionate Cuban dance to the city of St. Euphemia. The students, which came from all over the world, were taught by 18 foreign and 12 domestic instructors in the spaces of Maistra.

The numerous guests of the square were standing on their toes in order to better see the experienced dancers, who demonstrated the art of dancing from the centre stage. That hot July night, salsa was combined with other music styles – tango, mambo, flamenco, and even with some elements of classical music.
Young and old, experienced and less experienced students-dancers were swaying in the rhythm of the music, making the centre square into a big and open dance floor. Without shame and with smiles on their faces, there were dancers everywhere. The braver couples were in the middle of the square, and the shyer were farther away from the lights.
The special music treat for everyone was a performance by the group “Mercadonegro,” who are great salsa musicians. They managed to make everybody dance, from seven to seventy-seven year olds. With the sponsorship of the hotel-catering house “Maistra,” the organiser of the 4th Rovinj Salsa Festival was the Zagreb dance club “Los Mambeiros.”
Along with the foreign instructors Sheila de Jesus from Portugal, Farid Ferchach from France, Adolf Indacoche from the USA and others, there were Cuban salsa dancers Yanek Revilla and Diana Rodriguez, Jorge Camaguey, Yamira Sanchez, Israel Gutierrez…
