Salsa Summer Camp at Idrætshøjskolen Bosei
If you like Salsa and Cuban rhythms and you are in Denmark, this is where it happens!
​
We have held the Salsa Summer Camp in Denmark since 2004. We have classes at all levels - both beginner-intermediate, intermediate, advanced and very advanced. Everyone can participate, both singles and couples.
Come and get new inspiration! at the Salsa Højskole in South Zealand, in Denmark.
Join us for an experience for life, meet new people, and learn a lot of dance.
​
Sunday 23rd - Saturday 29th July 2023
There will be 6 different levels:
​
1: Beginner
2: Improver
3: Intermediate
4: Advanced
5: Very advanced
6: Masterclass
​
If you have any doubts about your dance level, see our guide under dance descriptions.
There is 4 1/2 hours of classes daily with pauses, in two times a day. (The classes are in 4 different rooms).
​
The classes
The classes are very intensive. You will on the course besides Salsa, also learn a little: Reggaetón, Bachata, Son, Afro-Cuban dance and Rumba. These dances will only be danced in the afternoon. Before that, there will only be teached in Salsa.
You don’t need to have a dance partner to participate, but it is always a good idea to try to find a friend, that will join., as we always pursue to have equally amount of men and women. If you go to dance classes, you can ask one from your dancing team, if the Salsa Camp could be something for them. You shift dancing partners all the time, on every team, so everyone will get danced with a lot of different people.
​
To you, who have never tried to dance Salsa before, we can say, that everyone who went to the Salsa Camp last year, have learned to dance when the camp was over.
​
To all your, who already dance, we always have some new to bring to the table. The classed are very inspiring, and fun to do.

Facilities at Bosei
The main building was originally a sanatorium, and since they have expanded with Japanese inspired buildings. There is a swimming hall, work out center, several activity- and sport rooms, and fantastic natural environment. There is also a Japanese library, creativ workshop, music room and much more. Around the buildings there is woods, a soccer field, tennis courts and more. It is not far away from the ocean, so it is possible to also take a beach trip.
Rooms
This year there will be space for approx. 115 participants in total. There are 40 double rooms and 20 single rooms. There is room for 15 tents (not big family tents, or caravans). Next year there will be space for approx. 165 participants. Every year we have 30% couples and 70% singles from all over the country, and the rest of Scandinavia, and a few from the rest of Europa, that participates in our fantastic salsa camp.
We are always striving to get the number of women and men to match, so that there is an even distribution. If we can see that there is a smaller number of women, we will close sign up for women, until we can see that it is offset. Then we open up for registration of women again.
​
Participate in all our activities, without accomodation
It is also possible to participate only at the course, and all the activities, without staying at Idrætshøjskolen Bosei.
