World Salsa Solo

A new chapter begins! ❤️

As World Salsa Solo enters its next era, we want to acknowledge and thank Carlos & Elli for the incredible legacy they've built over the past two decades.

Their passion, vision, and dedication have helped shape one of the most respected events in the Latin dance community.

We are excited to introduce Dani Barry, who will be leading World Salsa Solo into the future while continuing to honour the foundations that have made this event what it is today.

Here's to the next chapter! 🔥

You know that person who somehow knows everyone, welcomes everyone, hypes everyone up, and somehow still has energy left to dance?

Yeah. Them. 👀

Next week, nominations officially open for the .dance Culture Award.

A brand-new award celebrating the people who make our Latin dance community stronger, kinder, more inclusive, and a whole lot more fun.

The teachers. The leaders. The community champions. The behind-the-scenes legends.

Start making your mental shortlist.

📅 Nominations open July 1st.

Youth division is officially locked in! 😍

This category is for dancers aged 17 years and under at the date of competition and yes, the next generation is bringing the HEAT! 👀

For dancers aged 17, you also have the option to compete in either Novice or Amateur divisions instead of Youth (but not both).

And because we know some of you love a team moment… 17-year old Youth dancers can still enter Open Shines Teams while competing in Youth categories.

Stay across the updates, more are coming! 🔥

If you miss this drop in 4 days, that’s between you and your therapist.

If someone in your team, couple, or duet has to tap out (injuries happen, we get it), a replacement can step in and keep the performance alive and the standard high (obviously, with official conditions).

Because at this level? We don’t do “pause.” The show goes on, babe.

Stay ready, stay sharp, and don’t get caught slipping 👀. Follow along for more updates - we’ve always got the tea.
