Everything we do, we do to live an exciting, international, colorful life full of people, friends, music and dance and to share this exceptional lifestyle with you. We believe dance boosts our energy levels, makes us stronger physically and mentally, more friendly, more open, more conscious, more sexy and simply happier. We live the life of our dreams by organizing the El Sol Warsaw Salsa Festival, inviting the most amazing dancers and musicians from all over the Latin world, taking our organization to the next level and making our guests feel at home. Our long-lasting and no.1 goal is to maintain the absolutely top quality of artists selection, sound, stage, lights, floors, service and facilities. We focus on cooperation instead of rivalry and we look for solutions instead of conflicts. We choose tolerance over political divisions and we take the concept of Polish hospitality very seriously. We also prefer action to perfection, if we have to chose between these two :).

ANIA CHAGOWSKA: THE CREATOR'S STORY
Over the years I have been a festival's participant, a social dancer, a performer, an instructor, a team leader, a dance school owner and a festival's organizer. I aim to join all these perspectives and cater for all these needs. You can say the event is - made by a dancer - for dancers. I try to feel what you need and I work on giving you the best experience possible. If I don't hit it – give me your feedback! :) a.chagowska@salsafestival.pl

Organizing the El Sol Warsaw Salsa Festival has been a life changing journey for me. It started as a way to keep myself busy throughout the ugly autumn months 13 years ago in 2005. At first it was a platform for me to dance: on stage and socially as well as a social encounter with my salsa friends. Then, it became a way to live a life of a world citizen while raising my daughter in Poland. Later, it became a business field for me to learn and grow as a brand creator, manager, sales person and, finally, a leader with all the ups and downs included. Today, the event is a special space for dancers and teachers to fulfill their potential, present their work, find inspiration and motivation to cultivate their dance passion throughout another entire year. Currently, I work on sharing more and more responsibility with the amazing individuals in the Festival's team and I enjoy seeing them grow. This gives me more space for strategic future-based thinking. And I still passionately dance salsa!!!
