We are Salsamania-Austin, a Salsa event where we focus on playing the best music for Salsa and Bachata dancing. Salsamania-Austin started back in 2015, as a sister event of the world renown Salsamania-Saturdays in New York City.
We invest in developing a sense of community by bringing nothing but the best worldwide talent to Austin. We understand that it is difficult for you, our dancers, to fly to every single Salsa congress in the world to train with the best, so we bring them to you. During the last 8 years we have brought countless dancers, performers, and instructors that have made Salsamania-Austin one of the best places to learn, dance, and watch the hottest dance shows in America.
