Welcome from Ricardo & Michelle and the Congress Staff:

We are eager to welcome all of you to the SF BAY AREA SALSA CONGRESS from the Dancers of PB&G productions!
( Elisa, Danny, Ricardo, Michelle, Jose, Sheila, Isidro, & Erin)

ARTEM, one of the stars on the hit TV show, "So You Think You Can Dance" has just confirmed to teach 2 workshops and perform at the SF BAY AREA Salsa Congress!  Ladies, come meet the man that made you all swoon and guys, come learn some of his fantastic techniques in Footwork, body movements and partnering!

PLEASE CHECK THE COMPETITION PAGE FOR NEW & EXCITING UPDATES! 
Confirmed performers are up!  Performance and Workshop Schedules to be posted soon.
 
With less than a month away, we have some important tips on making your visit to the SF BAY Area Salsa Congress memorable, fun, and easy!
 
1. If you are flying in, make sure you book your tickets to arrive at the OAKLAND Airport. From there, there is no Hotel Shuttle so you can take a taxi for $25 or one of the Airport shuttle buses for $12-$19 depending on how many people are with you.
 
2. If you want to sight-see around beautiful San Francisco, and you do not have rental car, you will want to take advantage of the BART system.  Directly across the street from the Convention center, you can go down into the Bart Station and catch a 12 minute BART ride into the city.  From there you can catch a cable car, muni, or just walk around. 
 
3. Hotel rates are $120 including taxes, and are not going up so you will always get the best rate going through the SF Congress website.
 
4. When you register for Congress, you will not receive a ticket.  Your name and information will be at will call and you need to present a valid picture ID to be able to attend.
 
5. There are lots of great little restaurants around the Oakland Marriott City Convention Center, as well as our own Mambo Cafe located within the Convention center stocked with lots of fast healthy snacks and drinks, but it is always smart to pack lots of snacks.
 
6. STAY the night on Sunday if you can!  You do not want to miss the fantastic Dance Competition and the best of the best, OSCAR DE LEON live on Sunday night!  Don't forget, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, dancing til 3am in the morning!
 
7. DRESS UP ON SATURDAY NIGHT!  This is our Gala night and we love a chance to dress up here in the Bay Area!  Girls, wear your hottest dresses and guys dress to the nines if just for this night! 
 
We look forward to another fantastic event this year and thank you all for your support.
