The opportunity to teach at the Sydney Salsa Congress 2010 will only heighten Salsa Connection's profile at this massive national event, where Salsa Connection will be representing Adelaide with performances by the Salsa Connection Student Team, the Salsa Connection Pro Team, a couple performance by Kevin and Chelsea, and now a workshop with Kevin and Chelsea!
