Turn up the heat with a three-day event that showcases the love of the Latin dance salsa. The largest salsa dance event in New England, the Boston Salsa Festival transforms the Boston-Waltham Westin Hotel into a salsa-lover’s paradise, with three days and two nights of workshops and performances by world-class dancers and instructors, along with social dancing until the wee hours of the morning. Sharpen your salsa skills in workshops and classes for every level, from beginner footwork and partnering to Brazilian Zouk, or just enjoy watching the dance. Performances are each night at 8 p.m., but the “Salsa Challenge” is the real deal — six hours of training over the course of two days, culminating in a performance alongside your instructors at the Sunday night showcase.
