About the event
The full story.
A focused winter festival for salsa and mambo dancers, Salsa Grand brings high‑level workshops, elegant socials, and late‑night social dancing to the Sheraton Zagreb Hotel in the heart of the city’s Advent atmosphere.
The program centers on Salsa and Mambo: technical partnerwork, musicality, footwork and performance classes across On1, On2 and traditional Mambo styling. Expect daytime classes and technique sessions plus evening parties designed for sustained social dancing.
Hosted at the Sheraton Zagreb Hotel, the all‑under‑one‑roof format keeps workshops, social floors and shows close together convenient for international travellers and great for maintaining the festival energy between sessions.
Organizers position Salsa Grand as a premium, community‑focused event with international teachers, guest DJs and curated show elements. The festival deliberately cultivates an elegant, festive vibe tied to Zagreb’s Christmas market, so there’s a mix of serious training and stylish social life.
This weekend is well suited for intermediate and advanced dancers who want concentrated salsa/mambo training, high‑quality social parties, and a compact festival experience that pairs dancing with Zagreb’s seasonal atmosphere.
