Where the classes are heading
Two socials a week, every week, and a festival once a year. You don't need to be good. You need to be there. Everyone on that floor was once counting steps under their breath.
Coming up
Rookie Social
Linnaeusstraat 2C, inside at Orchid House.
Two hours for Beginners and Improvers at the end of every beginners course, starting with a merengue workshop that anyone can join. At 16:00 the floor opens to everyone.
Every week
Latin Nights
De Kroon, Rembrandtplein 17-I. For the social you come in through the normal De Kroon entrance, not through Heck's Café, that one is for the classes.
The house night. Classes finish, the floor opens, and it keeps going. Familiar faces, and enough new ones that you always dance with someone you've never met.
Latin @ Orchid House
Linnaeusstraat 2C, inside at Orchid House.
Salsa and bachata with DJ Ivanito, free entrance. Four hours on the floor, from first-timers to people who have danced for years.
Once a year
14th edition25–28 February 2027De Koning, Amsterdam
Amsterdam International Salsa Festival
The best-known international salsa event in the Netherlands, organised by our own founder. Workshops, shows, and parties that run until the trams start again.
Four days at De Koning Party & Events, Isolatorweg 29. The fourteenth edition. Over 3,000 dancers came to the last one, and Johnny Vazquez, Fernando Sosa and Marco Ferrigno are on the 2027 line-up.
A Full Pass covers every workshop and every party; the performance bootcamps and masterclasses are booked separately. Prices go up every month, so early is cheaper.
