Where EventUniverse is a good fit
EventUniverse is made for partner dance organizers: Bachata, Salsa, Zouk and Kizomba festivals, congresses, weekenders and weekly socials.
Salsero is based in Spain and charges a percentage of each sale. EventUniverse lists partner dance events worldwide, and its fee is a flat $0.50 whatever the ticket price.
- Dancers find your event by searching for a city, a dance style or an artist, instead of scrolling past concerts and conferences.
- Your lineup links to each artist's profile, so dancers who follow an artist find your event too.
- Your event page is built for festivals: lineup, schedule sections, hotel, video and code of conduct.
- Listing is free. Ticketing (coming soon) is a flat $0.50 per paid ticket, so a $150 festival pass costs you the same $0.50 as a $15 social.
- Free tickets have no EventUniverse fee.
