So on Wednesday the competition officially began with the first round of the couples division. This is a 'last minute' qualifier, where people from around the world who placed 2nd - 8th in their national championships, or whose country doesn't have one, can compete for the right to win the World Salsa Open title.
The couples each come out in groups of three, and freestyle to a song. The judges then decide which couples will go through to the second elimination round.
This year there were 18 couples competing for the right to make it to the choreography round. Only 6 of them were chosen to go through. This included the stand out performers of the round - none other than Fernando (Mandee's new 'friend' from Tropical Gem).
The standard of the freestyle dancers were amazing. Yet this was just a taste of what was to come.
