which strengthen community partnerships for the salsa
dance community including fundraisers for The KidSafe
Project Society, such as Salsa
For The Kids and Salsa
Prom.

SalsaVancouver.net
directly reaches Vancouver's salsa dancers and website
traffic grows monthly, averaging 12,000 visits a month
and peaking at 27,000 monthly visitors - 90% of whom are
from Vancouver. Regular site visitors include people in
Vancouver's salsa dance community looking to keep informed
of the latest news and events, as well as people new to
salsa dancing searching online for information on salsa
lessons and events in Vancouver. The site also attracts
considerable interest from out-of-town and international
visitors looking for information on salsa dancing in Vancouver.
SalsaVancouver.net is an independent
and impartial web site about Vancouver's salsa dance scene.
It is not affiliated with any event organizer, promoter
or dance instructor. Our aim is to provide positive, inclusive
support for everyone in Vancouver's Latin music and dance
community. We try to provide the most current and up-to-date
coverage and information on events, performances, dance
classes and workshops - for people new to Latin music
and dance, for out-of-town visitors, and for local salsa
dance addicts (You know who you are! And yes we mean YOU!)
The more we all support Latin
music and dance in Vancouver - all the events, the bands,
the djs, and dance instructors - then the stronger our
Latin music and dance scene will be and the stronger Vancouver's
reputation will be as a world-class salsa city. Every
effort has been taken to ensure the information presented
here is accurate and current but if there are any inaccuracies
or omissions, if you'd like to let us know about events
or classes you're running, or if you have any comments,
ideas, suggestions about the site, please email
us.
Que viva la musica!
