Even if I'm looking forward to dancing in NY, for some reason NY congress doesn't interest me much.

Btw, I was looking forward to dance in Boston as well but only gay people offered to host me :tongue: I havent got that many gay-hosting offer in my life! Boston must be an interesting place! Now I'm looking forward to dance in DC instead. I found my straight female host there :lol:

Why?

2011 Riga had pretty balanced ratio of leaders and followers. 2010 there was very high number ladies.

it must be female dominated in even years.

one year it's full of ladies.
next year horny guys hear this balance the number.
Since horny guys couldn't get lucky, they don't go next year and girl ratio increases.
...
 
Definites are:

13-15 Jan: Scottish Salsa Congress, Edinburgh
4-6 May: MamboCity 5Star Salsa Congress, London
22-25th Jun: Salsa Central Weekender, Wolverhampton, UK
9 - 12 Nov: Warsaw

Wants:
30 - 31 Mar: Antwerp (Belgium)
Dec: Yamulee Wkend, Holland

While there are few congresses that I might be attempted to think about attending, I'll rather side with you here. Rather then making plans, I'll see what 2012 offers and then make my congress picks along the way.

I only went in 2011 but it wasn't exactly balanced. There were still a lot of ladies though I've been to worse. But I still had a great time, so, don't write it off completely, londongirl.
 
I am only thinking as far as January for now. I'll try to go to the Helsinki Salsa Academy anniversary with Liz Lira. Not exactly a big one but their events are always good fun and I see that there will be even more international guests this time. Even from London.

I wish people would stop tempting me with the Scottish Congress too... :P
