These photographs and MPG movies were taken at the Congreso Bacardi de la Salsa held at the Hammerstien Ballroom of Manhattan Center on May 5, 2000 in New York City. There are links to more photographs of each dance group, both of the bands, social dancers, behind-the-sceens action, and people in attendance.

A total of fourteen dance groups from as far as Puerto Rico, Italy, Argentina, Canada, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and New York performed. The music was provided by Jose Alberto "El Canario" and Willie Rosario. The Master of Cerimonies was Luis Delgado, partner in the Congreso Bacardi de la Salsa, and the disc jockey was Henry Knowles with a special guest appearance by DJ Pepe of Italy.
