Our Story
Our Story
Back in 2003, the very first edition of a special event came to life—a revolutionary idea brought to fruition by Wilmark to celebrate the summer vacation of his dance school students.
It was a one-of-a-kind experience, and choosing Vama Veche as the location turned out to be an inspired decision for such a unique occasion.
The following year, the event expanded significantly, welcoming other dance schools from Romania and creating a wider, more diverse community of participants.
Over time, the festival, formerly known as ROMANIA SALSA WEEK, gained popularity and attracted schools and dance enthusiasts from all over the country and across the globe.
By 18th edition in 2024, the festival embraced a new name, but its essence and founding purpose remained unchanged. It has always been—and will continue to be—a unique opportunity for Latin dance lovers to spend an unforgettable summer vacation together.
With every edition, the atmosphere and passion for dance have transformed this festival into a true gathering point for the global Latin dance community. It’s an experience that transcends borders and cultures, bringing joy, authentic connections, and cherished memories to people united by the same passion.
🌟 Join us for the next edition of GOZADERO LATIN FEST, from 7th to 11th August 2025, in Mamaia, Constanta, Romania! Let’s celebrate the magic of dance and summer together!
