I've never been to any of the events in Palm Springs, but I have friends that have, and the majority were not very impressed. If you wanna go to ANY salsa events on the West Coast definitly invest your money on the LA Salsa Congress (West Coast Salsa Congress). It's by far the best salsa event that I have gone to. I have never seen so many dancers in one venue in my life! It's INSANE! Every Salsero/Salsera must go there at least once in there life. It's an amazing experience! Hope I was able to help take care.

Yes, for those traveling to SoCal, keep in mind that the West Coast Congress is *the* largest salsa congress in the world! The one disadvbantage, at times, is that for those trying to do take the workshops, seeing the instructors has been quite a challenge some years. But as far as almost non-stop salsa music and a veritable army of potential partners, there's no comparing relative to the Palm Spring events.
thank you guys for your feedback :!:
well the thing with me - I really don't like crowds and salsa congress have to be damn well organized for me to enjoy it - performances have to be visible for the audience (unlike at the recent chicago congress), workshops not overcrowded - which often happends at big events...etc
I think what I'm looking for is a small-scale salsa event like a salsa bootcamp or smth, with good workshops and some night dancing and it has to be at a nice place where you can also relax. So I was wondering whether this Palm Springs event could be it.... :?:

I've been to both the Summer and New Year events at Palm Springs. All the times I went 2 it, i had a blast. But that was partly b/c I went w/ a group of friends who were also performing. So we had fun eatin',drinkin, and dancing.
This is a small-scale salsa event (compared 2 chicago congress) and its all in 1 resort (w/o the massive crowds). You can easily see the performances and the workshops are usually not overcrowded (there are exceptions here and there).
If u do go, though, I highly recommend that you bring a group (or meet a group) of friends. To me, thats what makes this event fun!!

I hope the new all-Salsa format means that the silly competition going on between the two events will be dying off. Whatever the reasons for the event promoters splitting up to begin with, running two events with basically identical formats on the same dates in the same city was not helpful for the dancers.
It seems a natural outcome for the salsa dancers to gravitate to Torres' event, and the swing dancers to Byam's - and if the New Year's version of Byam's event is any indication, that's already happening.

I think I was lucky in regards to the fact that I attended BEFORE Jay/Molly and Al/Edie split their events up. You got the best of both worlds in 02/03 and 03/04's events. From what I heard, and much like last year's 2 Puerto Rico congresses, both events suffered a bit for New Year's last year and some people wound up having to travel from one hotel to the other as opposed to walking from one ballroom to the next.
