Salsa at the mall (Silverbird Galleria) in Lagos Nigeria was first conceived in October 2005 by The Latin Dance Company as a way to bring Salsa dance and music to the masses. Taking place every last Sunday of the month, it creates a venue for all salseros and salseras, as well as dance lovers in general to meet for an evening of exclusive Latin beats, dance and fun; making a point to encourage avid audience spectatorship. Salsa at Silverbird has quickly become a staple of the last Sunday of the month, as Salsa is a dance that boosts self confidence, flexibility and fluidity as well as having the necessary component of FUN!

Salsa at the Silverbird Galleria has never been hotter. In 2007 there was an added twist to our Salsa night as we introduce ABSOLUTELY SALSA dance competition! Absolutely Salsa is a competition where anyone and everyone can compete, with no rules and no limitations. With varying monthly themes, one winner is chosen with the watching audience as the judge - indicating their favorite by the level of their cheering!

The setting at the Silverbird Galleria makes for spectacular spectator viewing, from the spacious atrium to the various levels looking down at the dance floor -- all this affording an excellent opportunity for brand association and exposure.

Examples of the varying themes include:
1. Surprise Song Couple Dance
2. Surprise Song Props Dance
3. Group/Couple Synchronization (Choreography)
4. Group Synchronization (Line Dancing)


1. Each couple is expected to interpret the surprise song to the best of their ability, considering it's a song they haven't heard before. This allows the couple to showcase their skills in spontaneity, creativity, music interpretation and general dance prowess.

2. Each couple is expected to interpret the surprise song with the added complexity of integrating a surprise prop into their dance routine. Apart from showcasing the couples spontaneity and creativity, it additionally demonstrates their skill in working with the introduction of a prop.

3. This category involves at least two couples with a choreographed routine that the audience judges on the basis of the synchronization displayed by the couples as well as the interpretation of the music they dance to.

4. This form of prepared choreography involves a group of 2-4 dancers performing a routine they dance in a line -- where the emphasis is on synchronization, intricacy of routine, and music interpretation.
