The 2011 NYISC Bachata Survival Challenge at the 11th Annual New York International Salsa Congress is a program where the title says it all.  It’s designed primarily for the average Joe or Jane, meaning a typical spectator/ Salsa Congress attendee. The challenge is can you, the average Joe or Jane along with others who signed up who you possible won’t know, learn a choreography from 2-3 hours in just 3 days with world renowned salsa instructors and choreographers Ataca Jorgie and La Alemana of Island Touch and perform it LIVE as a featured team on stage in the early and late evening performance showcases on the last and most popular night which is Sunday.  All Ages are welcome

Participants are required to bring a comfortable pair of blue jeans, a black shirt or blouse and a comfortable pair of black jeans and black dance shoes or sneakers (preferably shoes)to wear in the performance showcase on stage.

This program is set up to give you, either him or her a possible once in a lifetime experience and chance to solve their curious thoughts of would they be strong willed enough and/or have what it takes to survive performing what you learned on stage in front of a whole audience.  Lastly this will definitely help you build your confidence on and off the dance floor because at the end of this you can say, “I Did It”. Just imagine, your audience will be over 5000 people. That’s over 6000 eyes watching every move you make. It takes a lot of guts…have any? So are you up for a CHALLENGE?

DON’T THINK ABOUT IT, JUST DO IT!!!
