What makes this event different from the Hawaii Salsa & Bachata Congress in February and other events in Hawaii? The Alohana event will integrate more Hawaiian and local cultural elements with the Latin dance elements of a salsa and bachata congress than the other events in Hawaii. The main organizer, Grant, is the only large-scale salsa/bachata event coordinator of Hawaiian descent. Furthermore, Alohana will equally emphasize both bachata and salsa, dedicating one night of bachata in the larger of the two ballrooms.
