CONFIRMED INTERNATIONAL INSTRUCTORS - FANTASTIC GIRL LINE UP!

For girls, we are preparing a treat as FANTASTIC GIRL LINE UP is this years with us! We have introduced a SPECIAL DIVAS PASS - for girls that want just styling and party all the time! Check it out here!

DID YOU KNOW? Our FREAK PASS enables You to have complete crazy experience of 5 days of workshops and parties but You can also attend ONLY PRE-FESTIVAL classes during Wednesday & Thursday and then party the whole weekend with our COMBO PASS?

Performing or teaching, our instructors are truly artists. They will really give their best in transmitting you their experience of the dance ; that's why we care so much abut right selection of instructors. Once again we bring you the unforgettable line up and we hope you will enjoy working with them as much as we do! These are the guidelines which we always keep in mind while choosing the right instructors to teach on the festival.

We believe that instructor's duty, be it salsa or any other dance, is to give guidance, teach new things and inspire people. These characteristics were the first on our mind when we made our list of instructors. We would like that each and every of you feels very welcome and relaxed on all of the festival classes. We want you to see the 'person behind the instructor' and to communicate with them on any language; be it by dance or speech. We leave this choice to you!

JUAN MATOS & AMNERIS MARTINEZ!

Cadence, strength, rhythm, and a lot of sabrosura are some words that describe this couple. They are the most representative couple in NEW YORK Style. Juan “PACHANGA” Matos is originally from the Dominican Republic and Amneris Martínez is from the charming island of Puerto Rico. This year, for the first time in Croatia, you will be able to attend workshops and see them perform!

TITO & TAMARA

Again, we are honored to present you probably the most expert couple in the world of Puertorican salsa, masters of that style, Tito and Tamara. Coming directly from Puertorico only for this occasion, they will be teaching again both PRE-FESTIVAL SPECIAL WORKSHOPS (6 classes in 2 days!) and festival workshops (4 classes).

MARIO & MADELINE

If you are longing for the original and traditional Cuban flavour, Croatian Summer Salsa Festival 2011 brings you 100% Cubano - MARIO CHARÓN & MADELINE RODRÍGUEZ! They will be teaching both PRE-FESTIVAL SPECIAL WORKSHOPS (6 classes in 2 days!) and festival workshops (4 classes). Learning from these high quality teachers, you will surely satisfy your Cuban appetites!
