The three-day festival, called Linline Salsa Holidays Hanoi 2009, aims to bring world-class talent to train Vietnamese salsa dancers and increase excitement for the dance locally.

Nguyen Duc Tung from Apsara Dance Studio, one of the event organizers, said, “This Latin style has become a joy for the dance-lovers since it first entered Vietnam a few years ago. This dancing environment is improved by the growing number of people learning salsa. We hope to bring a chance for Vietnamese salsa dancers to learn more about the Latin dance, as well as to improve their dancing skill,”

Vietnamese salsa fans will have the chance to witness the amazing dancing steps of three famous dancers including Gupson Pierre from Canada, Sharon Parkir from Australia, and Tommy Mulyono (known as ‘Reyno’) from Indonesia.

The event, co-organised by Apsara Dance Studio in Hanoi and Malaysia’s Linline Production, will open at the Sheraton Hanoi Hotel.

The three famous salsa dancers will give workshops on salsa techniques and styles. Performances by dancers from different countries are also part of the event’s agenda.
