About the event
About New York SBK Congress 2027
Come join a lively weekend of social dancing in the heart of Manhattan, where four partner dance cultures share the same ballroom floors and late-night rooms. This edition brings together Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba and Brazilian Zouk in one central location, with an emphasis on social dancing, technique-focused workshops and multiple rooms dedicated to different rhythms. Workshops run throughout the day and are designed for a range of levels, from those consolidating basics to dancers polishing musicality and partnering skills. Classes are complemented by early socials and an extended night programme that features separate rooms for Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba (including Urban Kiz) and Brazilian Zouk, giving you space to practise specific styles or move between rooms to explore new sounds. Atmosphere and social life Expect an event shaped around social connection: open sessions where you do not need a partner to participate, nightly socials where DJs curate long social sets, and dedicated performance slots and team showcases that give evenings a lively, theatrical beat without dominating the social floor. The schedule includes late-night social dancing (with two nights running until 6 AM and an adjusted final-night closing), so the venue stays active well into the early hours. Practical details The congress is hosted at the New York Hilton Midtown, within walking distance of Times Square and Central Park. A discounted hotel room rate has been arranged through the official congress booking channel for attendees; booking deadlines and the hotel block details are published on the event’s official pages. Ticket options include full-event passes, multi-night party passes and single-night passes, as well as add-ons such as competition registration and pre-party access where available. Whether you come to deepen a particular style, to practise social floor etiquette, or simply to meet other dancers from across the region, this edition offers structured learning and late-night social practice in a central New York venue. If you want to be part of a busy, multi-style dance environment in Manhattan, consider joining this gathering and reserve your place through the official ticket channels.
