The birthplace of the fiery Latin American salsa dance is the island of Freedom - Cuba. Together with Cuban immigrants, this dance was introduced and became popular first in the United States in the 60s of the last century, and then won recognition throughout the rest of the world. This dance style is subject to people of all ages, but it is best to master it under the guidance of experienced masters. To do this, you need to become a participant in the annual Riga Salsa Festival.
Instructions
Step 1
The Riga Salsa Festival is held every year in the first decade of June. Registration of participants on the official website of the festival begins at the beginning of December. The announcement of the beginning of registration appears in the "News" section. Go to the site and register. To do this, you will need to give your name, patronymic and surname, indicate your passport data and e-mail address, which will receive confirmation of registration. Along with the confirmation, you will receive a message with ticket prices and details by which you can pay for your participation.
Step 2
In the event that you did not manage to register before the start of the festival, go through this procedure during the festival. The first and second day of its work begins with the registration of participants. By registering, you will have the opportunity to immediately purchase tickets for classes and shows.
Step 3
A Full Pass, which allows you to attend any number of classes, as well as all shows and parties, costs 145 euros. If you want to take part in the Riga Salsa Festival only as a spectator, then purchase a Party pass, with which you can go to any party.
Step 4
By purchasing a full ticket, you will have the opportunity to attend master classes of the best salsa dancers from many countries of the world, including Cuban ones. All of them will take part in the grandiose evening show, which closes the Riga Salsa Festival. Salsa masters from the Baltic countries, Scandinavia, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Holland and others will demonstrate their art for an hour and a half.
Step 5
You should not worry about your level of training - experienced instructors will help improve it and will be able to teach basic movements in a couple of days of classes. The most important thing that you may need in the first place is desire, and it will not be difficult to learn the basic movements.
