About Amsterdam International Salsa Festival 2027
Join a focused, salsa-centred weekend in Amsterdam where the programme is built around social dancing and technique. The festival runs across multiple rooms at a central venue (De Koning) and is organised by Extremos Dance, offering a blend of daytime workshops, structured bootcamps and long social nights. During the festival you will find more than sixty workshops spanning levels and topics, five rooms operating during daytime sessions so dancers can move between styles and practice opportunities, and dedicated bootcamps for focused training. The organisers describe the event as 100% salsa in every room, which keeps the weekend tightly themed and useful for dancers who want concentrated salsa practice. Social dancing is a clear highlight: socials run deep into the night, with music and floor time continuing until the early morning hours. Each evening also features a single, curated showcase programme designed to present acts as a coherent show rather than a sequence of separate performances. Atmosphere and setting The festival emphasises a festival feel with multiple rooms and a ‘red carpet’ presentation each night; this year the festival theme is presented with a Roaring 20’s styling in parts of the programme.
