The wait is over. We are less than a week away from perhaps the largest salsa congress in the world.

Performer and promoter Marlon "International" Mills talks with Jessica Hannah about the 9th annual 2009 New York Salsa Congress.

Kicking off this labor day event of salsa is a party on Wednesday night (September 2) at Club Cache. Thursday night is the first official night of the Congress at the Hilton New York Hotel, followed by three days of workshops, performances, and social dancing.

Check out the official page for more information. Below is our HD highlights video of the 2008 event with Tito Allen, Adalberto Santiago, Juan Matos, Candy Mena, Maykel Fonts, Jazz Biancci (MamboNYC), Griselle Ponce, Karel Flores, Betto Rojas, Julissa Cruz, Mel C (Salsa Central) and Magna Gopal with Dimas Mero.
