🔥ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT: JULIAN & SACHA🔥

We are so excited to welcome the incredible JULIAN & SACHA from Montréal to the 2026 Calgary International Salsa Congress! 🎉

Julian Calderón is a Colombian dancer based in Montréal, originally trained in theatre, where he developed strong stage presence and expressive depth. Starting in Salsa Caleña, he built a foundation of speed and precision before expanding into Salsa On2 and Bachata. His transition into the competitive Latin dance scene quickly established him as a standout performer. He earned the title of Canadian Bachata Champion at the Canada Salsa & Bachata Congress.

Sacha Fomina trained for 10 years in rhythmic gymnastics and competed internationally with Team Canada. Her background also includes ballet, jazz, flamenco, and modern dance. She went on to become a World Champion in the Salsa Cabaret Division at The Summit, as well as Canadian Bachata and Salsa Champion, and a Top 5 finalist at the Euroson Latino World Salsa Championship.

Now collaborating, Julian and Sacha bring a powerful connection, blending fire, precision, and passion into a dynamic and expressive partnership.

Today, Sacha Fomina is excited to collaborate and train with the talented artist Julian Calderon, with whom she developed a strong connection during few years of training. Their chemistry stands out through its fire, quality, and passion, bringing a dynamic and expressive energy to their work.
