SalsaCrazy announces it's second annual San Francisco Salsa Dance festival celebrating salsa dance and music with salsa lessons and live bands, over the course of seven days. From July 16th through 19th, at the Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco, the Summer Salsa Festival will be alive with dance workshops and classes, performances, and social dancing. Every night, live salsa music and dancing will occur everywhere inside the hotel. The Salsa Festival, showcasing the San Francisco Bay Area's top salsa dance teachers and salsa bands and musicians, all takes place in San Francisco's beautiful Parc 55 Hotel, right off Union Square, in downtown San Francisco.

Summer Salsa Festival
July 16 to 19, 2010
San Francisco, California USA

This year's Salsa Festival follows a decade of exceptional salsa dance festivals, events and nightlife put on by SalsaCrazy, Inc. in the heart of San Francisco. Last year's "Salsa in the Square" brought out thousands of dancers to Union Square for live music and lessons, and exposed countless people to the fun and passion of salsa dancing. This year, SalsaCrazy is combining both indoor and outdoor events, and greatly expanding the dance lessons, workshops, and live music.

"We have a fantastic line-up of salsa dance classes, with instructors from all over the world, and live music showcasing the Bay Area, that's going to make an exciting weekend of events at the Parc 55 hotel," says Margolin. "San Francisco has always had an incredibly talented mix of salsa instructors and musicians, and with live bands performing each and every night, it's sure to be a scorching hot summer in San Francisco - we expect a great turnout."

3:30-4pm – Advanced Jam Session – We’re pulling out all stops in this one…a half hour straight of advanced level wheels to test out what you’ve learned.
