Dust off your high heels and get ready to party Latino style, as the International Salsa Festival swings into Riga.
Serving as an end-of-summer party, the festival hosts famous salsa teachers from across the globe, including - in 2007 - Cubans Claudio Pecheco and Eric "El Cubanito" Freeman, and double-act Luis Vazquez and Melissa Fernandez from the United States, as well as instructors from India and Guatemala.
The festival includes workshops of LA and Cuban Salsa, music from international DJs and a number of post-workshop fiestas, where DJs spin the latest in Latin beats.
