BOURNEMOUTH/UNITED KINGDOM – The UK-CUBAN Salsa Congress is about to have its take-off starting on August 6 and ending on August 9, 2010. The coastal city of Bournemouth in the UK is the place to be for Salsa dancers to enjoy “Cuban Salsa Without Limits”. The biggest Salsa event of Bournemouth – The UK-CUBAN Salsa Congress – will be held in the historic Pavilion Ballroom in Bournemouth, which is one of UK's favorite seaside and tourist spots.

Here's a whole list of Salsa and dance events happening in New York for 4th of July weekend from Wed Jul 30 -  July 6th.

HAYWARD — The city's popular downtown summer street party season kicks off Thursday. The theme: "Hot Salsa, Cool Cars."

The event, in its 11th year, will run 5:30-8:30 p.m. on B Street, from Foothill Boulevard to City Hall.

"It's an opportunity to come down and meet your Hayward neighbors for free," said Brian Schott, president of the Hayward Chamber of Commerce.

About 125 pre-1973 hot rods and classic cars will line Main Street, with music provided by DJ Joe.

The salsa band Lava will play live music at a wine and beer garden between the Bijou restaurant and bar and the Bank of the West branch.

Vendors will be on the street selling food and representing Hayward businesses and agencies.

Schott said as many as 5,000 people show up for the summer street parties.

"The purpose is to bring people to downtown Hayward and see the merchants that are here and support them, and just to have a good time," he said.

Summer street parties also are scheduled for July 15, Aug. 19 and Sept. 18.

You can dance the night away for a worthy cause — money for college scholarships.
The Rockland County Police Hispanic Society is holding its 7th Annual “Salsa into the Summer” on Friday from 8 p.m. to midnight at Town & Country Caterers, 922 S. Route 9W, Congers.

Just a typical Tuesday afternoon at work and my co-worker asks me, 'hey, you want to go salsa?' Salsa dancing on a Tuesday night? Definitely!

Group celebrates release of their second CD Saturday upstairs at the Viking

Aventura may be selling concert tickets como pan caliente but Juan Luis Guerra will forever hold the throne for us when it comes to bachata tinged music. Listen to his new single here.
The legendary singer-songwriter will be releasing his eleventh studio album in June 8 (Capitol Latin) but starting tomorrow you'll be able to download 'Bachata En Fukuoka.'

It's refreshing to see a young salsero stick to his guns. Largely ignoring the route that most of his contemporaries have taken (well, excluding his brief cameo as Rubén Blades in 2007's El Cantante), Victor Manuelle continues to forge his identity as a pure sonero while still exploring within the myriad genres of Latin music without delving into pop excesses. He makes the type of music abuelita can gently bop her head along with and your freaky cousin can shake her ass to. And he's steadily becoming an on-demand alternative within the bloated Latin music market, especially since getting the nod from Univisión to co-host the 2010 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards here in Miami this past February. And his tour is getting "a little strong" like we say around here since the release of his thirteenth full-length last fall, Yo Mismo, which will surely be the base for his performance this Sunday at the James L. Knight Center, which is cool, but he's best in straight-up jams where he shows off improvisational skills some rappers might be jealous of. Check this operator out above, flamenco/reggaeton/salsa? Yup. And he's yet to screw up and record in inglés.

ADELAIDE’S festival season is about to heat up again with the hot and sexy Salsa Festival.

MIAMI (Billboard) - On February 19, salsa star Victor Manuelle co-hosted Univision's Premios lo Nuestro Awards, looking dapper before a live audience of millions. The figure he struck had little in common with the painfully shy singer with braces who first gained national attention in the '90s as a new face of tropical music.
