Etown Salsa

Originally an idea thought of in the summer of 2003, ETOWN SALSA was born out of an inspired number of individuals wanting to create a non-profit society to promote the word of "Salsa". The idea was to have the group do a number of social events and fundraising to invest into bringing in professional dancers and seasoned latin bands to the Edmonton area. Alex Rojas, (creator of ETOWNSALSA.com) was not bound to this ambitious group but was willing to donate his time and efforts to help the cause and create a website for the group to pass onthe good word of "SALSA!". And on October 31, 2003, ETOWNSALSA.com was launched and it was very well known by not only local Salseros, but world-wide Salseros, as a FANTASTIC WEBSITE. ETOWNSALSA.com s slogan was "Your guide to the Salsa and Latin music scene in Edmonton". After only a few months after launching the site, the society backed out and the website was left without a strong backbone.

Today, ETOWNSALSA.com is now known as ETOWN SALSA Dance Company or Dance Studio. Still promoting local latin and salsa events in the city, it also promotes other global events. Now with a strong influence in the community and with proven world-wide viewership, ETOWN SALSA is asked on a regular basis to participate at annual events and festivals.

ETOWN SALSA s vision is to educate people from all races and cultures on Latin social dancing, Latin culture and the Spanish language and also to inspire others to Salsa dance at a highly competitive level.
