PERFORMANCE CHALLENGES

We offer three Challenges: Salsa/Mambo, Bachata and Ladies. These are intensive training programs, culminating in a stage performance during the congress. A pass for one of the challenges includes access to all other congress activities, including performing with your team or solo, all workshops, all bootcamps, and evening shows and social dancing. The only exception is that you cannot have access to a different challenge.  If you want to take multiple challenges then the Bravo Pass (total access) is available for you.
