Istanbul World Dance Congress Summer Edition
Istanbul, Turkey
Two thousand dancers, 150 workshops, pool parties and a boat party on the Bosphorus.
The summer edition of the Istanbul World Dance Congress is among the largest events in this guide: more than two thousand social dancers, over 150 workshops, pool parties, open-air classes, a boat party and Pinto Picasso playing live.
Scale is the point, and it is a very different proposition from a three-hundred-person weekend like Saoco. Neither is better; they are answers to different questions.
The programme is broad Latin rather than Cuban, covering salsa, bachata, bachata fusion and kizomba. Held in late August, when Istanbul is at its hottest.
