San Francisco Salsa Congress 2009 Jack and Jill Contest Salsa Videos

San Francisco Salsa Congress 2009Since this past weekend was the 8th annual San Francisco Salsa Congress, we thought we’d share some videos from everybody’s favorite event: the Jack and Jill! In this event, dancers are paired up randomly with the goal of entertaining the crowd with the best dancing and funniest moves. In this round, especially the Masters, dancers typically imitate others who danced earlier or have some sort of joke within their dance. Last year, it was dancing while talking on cell phones – this year, the theme seems to be taking off shirts. Here are some of the favorites. Thanks to Kristina Quevedo Video Productions for taking the videos below. If you have any other videos from the 2009 San Francisco Salsa Congress – feel free to post them in our comments below. The salsa videos are after the break!

San Francisco Salsa Congress 2007 Jack and Jill Salsa Masters

Well, last year’s Jack and Jill contest at San Francisco Salsa Congress was just simply amazing! This year was even better! These people just stole the show. You just have to watch some of the best improvised performances anywhere in the US.

The first place winners this year were Milton Cobo and Masha. Of course, I’ve talked about Milton before, and this video just shows how slick and smooth he is (unbuttoning his shirt while giving a girl multiple spins). Now, or Masha – wow – I’ve never seen such great (yet subtle) footwork styling. You will be rewinding this video a few times in order to appreciate the details. Enjoy!

And for the other great very honorable mentions:
