Just as last year, during the Labor Day weekend two big dance events took place at the Hilton Hotel on 6th Avenue and 54th street: New York Salsa Congress and New York Hustle Congress. One admission charge gets you to attend both. The Salsa Congress took place in the Grand Ballroom of the hotel pictured on the left. The Hustle congress took place in three separate rooms nearby. During the afternoon both congresses offered extensive dance workshops tought by top dance instructors. At night the Salsa Congress featured a stage show of salsa performers from around the United States and even other countries. After the show the humongous dancefloor was open until 5 AM for salsa dancing to a live band and a DJ. The Hustle Congress also continued until 5 AM and featured competitions of various levels from amatures to professionals as well as performances and of course there was plenty of dancing for the public.
