Salsa Latina had around 40% of the South Island Latin Championships Adult entries in this competition for 2022, with 20 placings! Not evening mentioning the incredible size of our teams. This really shows how we are growing in the Latin dance scene in New Zealand.
Some of our main highlights include; 1st place in both Bachata & Salsa team couples categories & our Ladies Amateur shine team “with one pro” placing ahead of a combined Pro Team. We also had some amazing first place victories in various categories. Congratulations to all Salsa Latina competitors who placed, and to all those who competed. A massive thank you to all our supporters for cheering us on. We haven't finished for 2022, the National Competition in Auckland is coming up. We are also gearing up for next year, with bigger, better plans and goals for 2023. If you are considering trying performance see this page for Ladies teams> & This page for couples teams>
