Berlin Salsacongress 2018: Full Schedule

Introducing Academies, a new revolutionary learning concept

All workshops will be organized in blocks of progressive workshops of 4 hours dedicated to a dance style or theme, for example Salsa on2, or Kizomba. Those blocks we call „Academies“. On Friday we will have 5 Academies parallel, on Saturday 8 Academies and on Sunday 7 Academies.

We will ask you to make a choice and sign in

After you registered we will ask you to sign in for the Academies you have purchased using the "Sched" application. Signing in for an Academy is not a final decision, you will still be able to swap between Academies, even on the spot, though we do not encourage you to do so, as they are progressive units of learning.

Academies marked "FULL! Do NOT sign in any more!"
Those Academies are REALLY FULL and that won’t change as they are in the smaller rooms so that the capacity can not be extended. Take this for serious, and do NOT sign in any more. You won’t get off the waiting list. And you won’t get in either on the spot. Use the time now and sign in for another Academy which is not marked FULL.

Academies marked "Filling"
Each Academy has set limited of attendees. Once we reached 70% of that threshold the Academy is marked "Filling". You can sign up for those Academies.

Academies marked "Full"
Once reached the threshold it is marked "Full". You can still sign up but you will be set on the waiting list. We monitor the number of attendees for each Academy including the waiting list and if needed we will change the rooms so you have good chances even if set on the waiting list. That is different to the Academies described before with "FULL! Do NOT sign in any more!".

Using Sched to connect and coordinate with your friends

Once you created your profile on Sched, we encourage you to set your profile to "public" - this will allow your friends to see for which Academies you have signed up for and you can check if you have choosen the same Academies as your friends. You may also connect your profile with your Facebook profile. When you’ve got your social media channels connected, you’ll see a number highlighting how many friends are also attending your event. Click “Attendees” to see which friends are also attending. Only friends that have also connected their social networks will be indicated with the red marker.

The amazing world of ChaChaChà - FULL!

Limited Capacity filling up

Please note! This Academy will happen in one of the smaller rooms. It will not be possible to accept more attendees for this Academy as we can't expand the room, please sign in for one of the other Academies at the same time.

Recommended Level 5 - 8. Important - please mind the level! Check and read carefully the page/tap "Find Your Level" here in the Sched application in order to classify yourself and choose the Academies which truly fit your level. The order of the instructors here in the description does NOT reflect the order they will be teaching. There will be 3 breaks during the Academy - the exact times of the breaks will be determined by the instructors.
Academy Guide: ChaChaChá is for many the hidden gem on the dance floor, which is being reflected in the fact that many leave the dance floor once it is played.Time to change this! The key is enable you to express yourself with the same ease as you do in Salsa, giving you the vocabulary needed to fully express yourself. Basic knowledge of ChaChaChá and the rhythm is implied.
The individual emphasis of the instructors:

Poetic Motion - Listen to the music and enjoy! Bringing the music into your feet.
Afro Latin Connection - Playing with the basics. What to do when loosing the rhythm.
OtraDanz - Connect with your partner, it is teamwork!
Konstantin & Arcadia - Spice up your ChaChaChá, adding footwork and style.

Masterclass ChaChaChà (Classification test - and probably Upgrade - required)

Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

Please note: it is not mandatory to sign up for the Masterclass if you want to attend as ONLY those who passed the classification test will take part regardless of you signing up or not.

In order to guarantee a Master level in those Masterclasses, we require the prior participation of each attendee in the classification test on Friday from 8 - 8.30 PM in the Big Arena. Classification test will be performed by the instructors of the Masterclasses.

The participation in the Master Classes is free (if passed qualification test) for holders of a Take.It.All.Pass. For holder of all other passes the fee for a 2 hour progressive unit is 20€ which needs to be paid at the beginning of the Masterclass in cash.
This is a unique opportunity if you really want to learn on a super advanced level in small groups with other dancers on the same level of dance experience and knowledge. Also perfect for those who wants to dance the night away on the dancefloor until dawn, and can't take the Academies in day time.
