The 5Star Congress

A New Chapter

For more than two decades, the 5Star Congress has brought dancers from the UK and around the world together at London Heathrow.

After 24 incredible years at our original venue, 2027 marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

Our new home at the Radisson RED and Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow gives us the opportunity to build on everything our dancers love about 5Star, with a venue better suited to the future of the Congress.

A new home. The same 5Star welcome. An even better experience.

The Venue

Heathrow, a New Chapter

2027 marks an exciting new chapter for the MamboCity Congress as we move to our new home at the Radisson RED and Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow.

At the heart of our new venue is the impressive Discovery Suite, a fantastic new setting for our shows, workshops and social dancing.

Same MamboCity spirit. A fresh new experience.

Performance opportunites at 5Star Congress

5Star Congress Stargate Competiton

The Stargate is back by popular demand! It’s been a few years since we last ran the programme, but due to the number of enquiries we’ve received, we’ve decided to bring the Stargate back, giving dancers the opportunity to perform at the 5Star Congress. The Stargate programme offers couples and teams the chance to showcase their talent to a wide international audience. Stargate performers will take the stage on Friday and Sunday.

5Star Congress Performance Pass

The 5Star Congress has always been central to Mambo City’s mission: to inspire a new generation of dancers while promoting excellence and enjoyment in Afrolatin dance. The Congress offers dancers the chance to perform as part of their journey, but this opportunity is for those who are committed to attending workshops and fully engaging in the weekend experience. For dancers interested only in performing, our monthly parties provide a suitable platform with free entry for performers.

Customer Care

We look after our guests and pay attention to the little things like having water stations available throughout the day and evenings, free of charge.

"Thank you Jean White & Robert White for an excellent congress. Great atmosphere, some spectacular performances, fantastic workshops, fabulous dances and opportunities to hang out with good friends. So many special moments! But one of the main highlights for me was Albert Torres' workshop – and chatting with the man himself. His 'History of Salsa' seminar brought salsa / mambo to life & gave it a resonance that's too often lost on the dance floor in the pursuit of multiple turn patterns & styling. At times funny, sad, insightful but always entertaining, Albert's walk through history helped me understand why I fell in love with salsa /mambo. Muchas Gracias @Señor Torres - and, to Adolfo Indacochea for keeping the 'flame' alive."
