The event series 【あの時のサルサ】なんか、久々ぢゃね? began in 2013 in Minato, Japan, as a vibrant celebration of salsa and Latin dance. Founded by a passionate group of dance enthusiasts, the event aimed to create a welcoming space for both seasoned dancers and newcomers to immerse themselves in the rhythms of salsa, bachata, and kizomba. The inaugural edition attracted a modest crowd, setting the stage for what would become a beloved fixture in the local dance community.

Over the years, the series evolved significantly, transitioning from a small gathering to a well-attended event that now boasts 14 editions.
