Ania Chagowska: THE CREATOR’S STORY
Over the years I have been a festival’s participant, a social dancer, a performer, an instructor, a team leader, a dance school owner and a festival’s organizer. I aim to join all these perspectives and cater for all these needs. You can say the event is – made by a dancer – for dancers. I try to feel what you need and I work on giving you the best experience possible. If I don’t hit it – give me your feedback! 🙂 a.chagowska@salsafestival.pl
Organizing the El Sol Warsaw Salsa Festival has been a life changing journey for me. It started as a way to keep myself busy throughout the ugly autumn months 14 years ago in 2005. At first it was a platform for me to dance: on stage and socially as well as a social encounter with my salsa friends. Then, it became a way to live a life of a world citizen while raising my daughter in Poland. Later, it became a business field for me to learn and grow as a brand creator, manager, sales person and, finally, a leader with all the ups and downs included. Today, the event is a special space for dancers and teachers to fulfill their potential, present their work, find inspiration and motivation to cultivate their dance passion throughout another entire year. Currently, I work on sharing more and more responsibility with the amazing individuals in the Festival’s team and I enjoy seeing them grow. This gives me more space for strategic future-based thinking. And I still passionately dance salsa!!!
