SFSBK Congress 2026

About this event

The San Francisco Salsa Bachata Kizomba (SFSBK) Congress is a three-day Latin dance festival held at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in Burlingame. Each edition brings together dancers from across the Bay Area and beyond for a weekend focused on salsa, bachata, kizomba, and zouk.

The congress schedule is designed so that there is always something happening, whether in the classrooms, rehearsal spaces, or social rooms. Daytimes are filled with workshops covering multiple levels and styles, allowing both newer and experienced dancers to train with a wide range of instructors. Rehearsals and special training sessions run throughout the afternoon, creating a strong performance and team atmosphere around the event.

Afternoon socials give attendees space to practice what they learn, connect with new partners, and warm up before the evening program. Evenings feature showcase performances in the main ballroom, with teams and artists delivering choreographies tailored for a festival crowd. After the shows, social dancing continues late into the night, with DJs keeping the floors busy until the early morning.

Competitions such as Salsanama and a Zouk Jack & Jill add an extra layer of excitement for dancers who enjoy performing and competing. The Hyatt Regency SFO setting turns the weekend into a full hotel congress experience. Attendees benefit from a large host hotel only minutes from San Francisco International Airport, with a complimentary airport shuttle and a free trolley to downtown Burlingame for dining and errands.

There are multiple pass options available including full weekend passes, multi-night party passes, and individual evening tickets. Whether attending for intensive training, late-night socials, or the full congress package, SFSBK offers a complete festival-style weekend for Latin dancers from all over the world.
