Encanto Bachata Congress 2027

Encanto Bachata Congress nasce come naturale evoluzione del nostro format serale Encanto: un progetto più grande, pensato per portare a Verona un’esperienza nuova, fresca e profondamente connessa al mondo bachatero contemporaneo. L’obiettivo è chiaro: creare un congresso che unisca l’insegnamento con atmosfere, connessioni, emozioni e una selezione musicale che parla ai bachateri di oggi, in linea con i concept già affermati in altre città. Abbiamo coinvolto fin da subito le scuole veronesi, mantovane e trentine che da subito hanno creduto nel nostro progetto e che ci hanno sempre supportato con entusiasmo. Accanto a loro, artisti provenienti da fuori Verona porteranno un’aria di novità ed ispirazione ai nostri studenti. La parte più bella? Vedere ballerini, insegnanti e realtà diverse unirsi con la stessa energia, pronti a collaborare per dare vita a qualcosa di grande per Verona.

Campeonato Internacional de Salsa para Bailadores 2027 (7th Edition)

Hay competiciones que se bailan.Y hay experiencias que se quedan dentro. El Campeonato Internacional de Salsa para Bailadores nació para quienes entienden la salsa como algo más que una secuencia de pasos. Para quienes disfrutan de la conexión, de la improvisación, de la música inesperada y de ese instante único en el que dos personas se encuentran en la pista y todo empieza a suceder. Esta no es una competición de coreografías preparadas. Aquí las parejas no conocen la canción hasta el momento de bailar. No hay una historia ensayada de antemano. Cada baile nace en el momento, con la música, con la pareja, con el público y con la emoción real de la pista. Se premia la musicalidad, la conexión, la interpretación, la naturalidad y la capacidad de bailar desde la verdad del baile social. Porque en este campeonato no buscamos solo técnica: buscamos alma, presencia y autenticidad. En 2027, el campeonato forma parte de Salsa Spring Evolution, creando una experiencia mucho más completa: competición, talleres, shows, baile social, convivencia y un ambiente internacional donde bailarines, academias, artistas y amantes de la salsa comparten un mismo fin de semana. No vienes solo a competir.Vienes a aprender, a bailar, a emocionarte, a compartir pista con personas de distintos países y a formar parte de una comunidad que vive la salsa con pasión. CATEGORÍAS Amateur:Parejas formadas por dos bailadores amateur. Pro-Am:Parejas compuestas por un bailarín profesional y un bailador amateur. Profesional:Parejas integradas por dos bailarines profesionales. En todas las categorías, las parejas compiten en formato de baile social en pareja, valorando la compenetración, el ritmo, la interpretación musical, la creatividad, la conexión y la calidad de su baile. Para participar en la competición es imprescindible disponer de Full Pass de Salsa Spring Evolution, ya sea adquirido por separado o incluido en el pack correspondiente. El Full Pass da acceso al evento completo y también al Campeonato Internacional de Salsa para Bailadores. Podrás elegir la opción que mejor se adapte a ti: Full Pass, inscripción al campeonato, pack con alojamiento oficial o inscripción con alojamiento incluido. El alojamiento oficial incluye dos noches, pensión completa y Full Pass, permitiéndote vivir la experiencia completa desde el hotel sede, con la comodidad de tenerlo todo en un mismo entorno. Del 7 al 9 de mayo de 2027, Cervia volverá a convertirse en punto de encuentro para bailadores de todo el mundo. Si amas la salsa social, si alguna vez has sentido que una canción podía cambiarlo todo, si quieres retarte, compartir y vivir un campeonato diferente, esta edición es para ti. La venta de pases, inscripciones y alojamiento se abrirá a partir del 1 de junio. 7º Campeonato Internacional de Salsa para BailadoresSalsa Spring Evolution · Cervia, ItaliaMisma esencia.
