Single digit, but several different countries. I know because they post videos where there are more of them. They have distinct enough style, so they stand out.How many you have met and danced with?

I don't go to Cuban salsa events outside my city, to see a timba band live, or when salsa friend invites me and I'm in that city for some other reason.
advantage of being off social media is being immune to all that due to ignorance being a bliss
Just saw an event for BOB 2020. Ie. Break On Budapest.
They are changing the format a little, but will try to make it happen
There will be:
No workshops
No bootcamp
Only social dancing.
This is kind of strange. If they somehow think social dancing is safer than workshops and the bootcamp lol, but okay...
That's Hungary for ya...

Why do you assume it's safer? I think it's rather that in social dancing you can place responsibility to play it safe to participants, not organizers.
The event organizers decided not to have workshops or the bootcamp but are allowing social dancing.
That means they think social dancing is safer than having workshops, which I find suspect.
I do not think it has anything to do with safety. Organizing workshops a is costly. And risk of cancelled flights and teachers getting stuck in some country is with organizers. With social dancing they have to cover only venue cost. Plus, I do not think most people miss workshops as much as social dancing
Serious dancing going on in Prague this weekend:

Has a Salsa Marathon vibe to it. Reeeeeally cheap too at 40Eur! If you don't mind dancing with filthy germ infested foreigners!

The Vienna Salsa Congress has announced that it has cancelled their event for December. It makes me wonder if Warsaw will follow suit? Checking their website, it appears that they are selling passes still.

More like, more profitable to organize, by not having to pay any instructors. Is the ticket price at least lower than usual?
Unknown at this point. I hope so. If Prague can make a 3-day event for 40Eur, then surely Budapest can too.
Hungary is closing its borders to all foreigners starting September 1st to fight the influx of new Covid infections coming mainly from abroad. This means that BOB and all other festivals organized in Hungary will be massively affected.
There is a beach festival happening right now in Siofok at Lake Balaton, which I'm pretty sure is attracting quite a lot of foreigners. I know about 5 people who are there currently. It typically has 700+ people in attendance.
The instability and confusion with traveling in Europe is mind boggling. How people are still comfortable with traveling then going into mandatory quarantine when they return makes my head explode. Pleasure pain paradox.

Talking about dancing in the age of covid, how to dance safely and the dance clothes/fashion, my vote goes to this one:

Time to bring back congresses
P.S. - added advantage - no one can lick you during dance

The Prague Salsa Marathon is on at the end of the month. Crazy as the Czech Republic's Covid numbers are skyrocketing. I would not feel safe at that event.
I thought about buying a ticket. The lineup looks sweet.
I had a registration for that marathon and was really hoping to be able to go as I haven't really done any social dancing since March/April, but now I've just sent them a message requesting my registration to be moved to Spring 2021 instead. As much as I would love both to travel and dance again, it just wouldn't feel right to go there right now. Especially as their numbers seem to be increasing again...
El Sol is still on this year according to the organizer. SuperMario shares his experiences with Covid testing, quarantine and traveling around Europe despite all of the restrictions. Part of me feels like this is very optimistic. How many people are willing to get tested or go into quarantine just for El Sol?
