Salsa Latina was the standout among the participants at the New Zealand Latin dance competition in Auckland on November 9th, clinching 21 awards (so far)!
The event drew contestants from overseas as well, not just kiwis!
Our remarkable accomplishments include taking the first place in both the Bachata and Salsa team couples categories, with our Ladies Amateur shine team also securing 2nd place. We also achieved numerous impressive wins across various categories. Congratulations to all Salsa Latina competitors who placed, and to all participants. A big thank you to our supporters for their enthusiastic encouragement. Our journey for 2024 isnt quite over, with the upcoming Australian Salsa Solo competition on the horizon.
If you are considering joining in performance & competitions, now is the perfect time to join our classes and get involved, don't wait - now is the time to act not next year, as we are always seeking new talent.
