§ 01 · Invitation
Editor's note From Julian, in Cali

This is not a tourist bus with salsa attached. It's a small international group of social dancers landing in Cali during the only week of the year when the whole city feels like a dance floor.

You will not spend the week guessing where to go, standing in unnecessary lines or eating hotel buffet dinners while the city is outside. What you will do is dance with the right people, in the right rooms, on the right nights and learn why Cali sounds the way it does.

We handle hotels, transfers, classes, tickets and the introductions. You bring shoes, an open week and the willingness to say yes when someone asks you onto the floor.

What's included

The price is not just hotel plus tickets. It covers the hard part: timing, access, transport, local decisions and the people who make the week work.

01Hotel

Private room, walking distance

Well-located, safe neighborhood, quiet enough to recover. No shared bunks, no dorms.

★
02Classes

Cali-style classes, clear level fit

Best for improver to advanced social dancers. Motivated beginners are welcome if they are ready to learn fast.

★
03Feria

Official events & concerts

Salsódromo, Salsa al Parque and headline shows, with tickets sorted long before you arrive.

★
04City

Tours & cultural immersion

Beyond the floor: the neighborhoods, food and people who shaped Cali's sound.

★
05Nightlife

Curated nights

Tilo, Zaperoco, La Topa & a few rooms you wouldn't find alone. Right nights, right crowd.

★
06Group

An international circle

Dancers from different countries, already friends by Day 2. The part that lasts.

★

Is this for you?

The trip is open to dancers from anywhere, but it is not for every traveler. It works best when the group shares the same rhythm.

01Dance

You dance salsa socially

You do not need to be a performer. You should be curious, active and ready to spend real time on the floor.

★
02Group

You like small groups

Twenty dancers max means shared logistics, new friends and enough intimacy for hosts to actually know the group.

★
03Pace

You can handle late nights

Feria is joyful and intense. The schedule protects recovery, but this is still a week built around music, movement and nights out.

★
04Travel

You want local guidance

You could visit Cali alone. This is for dancers who want better timing, safer decisions and warmer introductions.

★
