So you think you can dance? Salsa that is.

For eight years the New York Salsa Congress has curated this dance event for salsa aficionados that not only nurtures longtime salsa enthusiasts but also embraces those with a piqued interest in the dance form. The demand for the NYSC has grown so much that the event has already expanded abroad.

You might think something as grand as the NYSC is meant for professionals or hardcore dancers, but think again. The NYSC doesn’t exclude anyone, even if you have two left feet.

Salsa is about passion and soul, so regardless if you’re a pro or dance deficient, and if you simply love the music, this Labor Day Weekend, NYSC is the place to be.

For four days, the New York Hilton Hotel is house to an extravaganza of salsa performances, workshops, parties and the list goes on.

Whether you’re going for one party, performance or the entire four-day fiesta, we’ve saved you a headache of trying to figure out what to do first by giving you a must-do NYSC highlights:

Salsa self-starter: If you’re finally ready to step up to the plate, or better yet, the dance floor, you’ll have the best instructors to get you doing the 1, 2 and 3 step. Choose from 45 workshops from beginner to advanced levels, and various dance styles such as ON1, ON2, Female Styling, Latin Hustle, Lifts & Tricks, Rueda, Belly Dance, Afro Cuban, Body Movement, Bachata, Rumba and much more.

Once you’ve feel more competent, you’ll be ready for the 2nd Annual N.Y.S.C. Survival Challenge. This dance-off is meant for strictly nonpros, which makes it so much more exciting. NYSC director, John Knight says the challenge is all about showing off what you’ve learned.

“The challenge is that you'll meet with people that you don't know and learn a choreography from instructors that you've just met to 3-5 minute song and perform it live on stage in front of over 3000 people. You have 4 days to learn what a dance team takes a month to learn.”

Manic Monday: The NYSC is celebrating Labor Day with an all-day cruise that includes a set by DJ Sergio and DJ Danny, with a slew of performances and special guest Salsa Tito, direct from Italy.

Salsa 24/7: Don’t forget that aside from the musical shows, workshops and dance performances, there is salsa going on every second. Check out the V-Lounge near the Grand Ballroom to catch DJs and dancers, that will be dancing to, what else? But Salsa!
