GENERAL

1- What's a Salsa Festival? :)
Salsa Festivals or Congresses are events, lasting from 2 days up to a full week, where dancers, choreographers, musicians and dance lovers meet and share their passion through dancing salsa. Nowadays, there are millions of salsa lovers travelling all over the world and attending Salsa Festivals.
In Salsa Festivals, during daytime, there are workshops with international instructors for all levels of salsa – from absolute beginners to professionals, while at night there are parties with show performances and, at some festivals, live concerts. Also, the Turkish Int'l Salsa Festival is a Summer Salsa Festival and has a few 'bonus' features like: Open Air Concert and Pool parties. Most of the activities are outdoors due the to wonderful weather conditions of Antalya.

2- Can everybody attend your Festival?
Our Festival is open for everybody willing to dance salsa, regardless of previous dance experience. There are workshops for absolute beginners, who will learn dancing in a few hours, intermediate and even Master classes. Everybody can learn something new and get a chance to meet new people!

3- How will be the weather during the Festival?
You never know… But generally shiny and mild weather during daytime and could possibly be a little cool in the evening. Please bring some sweats just in case.

4- Are the dates of your event confirmed?
Definitely yes! Our event will take place on the last weekend of May every year. We have 2 very good reasons for not changing our dates: (1) Hotels in the Belek region go to high season on June 1st, so they raise their prices considerably. (2) At the end of May, we always have the best weather conditions in Antalya. Not too hot, not too cold. April means cool weather and lots of rain, June/July means 35-40 degrees in shade with 90% relative humidity. In short, May has the best weather conditions of the year...

5- Will all of the confirmed performers be present at the event?
Definitely Yes! Confirmed means 100% guaranteed. Of course, unexpected incidents can always happen (health problems, accidents, visa problems, missed planes etc.). This being sad, please rest assured that you will experience our event "as advertised".
 
6- Will instructors and performers dance with me?
As long as you ask them to dance, yes :) At every occasion, we remind our performers about the importance of socializing. Performers will not disappear during parties and they will do their best to dance with literally everybody.
After all, they are human beings and may get tired after their long and busy schedule during the day and night. Please empathize and let them breath from time to time :)
 

7- How expensive will the Food & Beverage prices be?
Our prices are reasonable and cheaper than most other countries. We are positive that you won't experience any problems about our prices :)
