Let's Bring the Rhythm of Salsa to the 2028 Olympics! 🌟🎵Salsa is not just a dance; it's a global phenomenon that captures the essence of rhythm, passion, and cultural harmony.

After years of campaigning to get ballroom dancing officially classed as a sport, the International Olympic Committee now recognizes it as a ‘DanceSport.’ The World Games now recognizes ballroom and Salsa as part of their competitive sports. This is a huge step forward for one day to become an official medal sport and as a matter of fact some of the WSC champions participated and won the 2017 World Games in Poland. Organizers of Paris 2024 included breakdancing as a new sport in the Olympic program. It was of four sports suggested for inclusion in the Games -- alongside surfing, climbing and skateboarding.

Salsa dancing as the ultimate DanceSport is all about balancing the artistry of dance with the athleticism of a physically demanding sport. What needs to come across as an effortless succession of steps or moves to music is, in fact, a hard aerobic workout. Athletic prowess must combine with artistry in order to produce a truly captivating performance on the dance floor. The certified panel of judges must evaluate timing, musicality, technique, difficulty, partnering connection, choreography and overall presentation. The dance is athletic and technical, regulated teaching discipline and requiring hard work, dedication and training – fitting perfectly with the Olympic ethos.

Please sign the petition to support us and help bring Salsa to the biggest sporting competition in the world.
