The Salsa Ambassador Search is an initiative aimed at discovering passionate individuals and community advocates to represent the vibrant spirit of salsa. It seeks people who embody confidence, charism, and a commitment to promoting Latin culture. Winners will become ambassadors and hosts for different TD Salsa In Toronto events nationwide.

  • Strong digital presence and content creation skills are an asset
  • Respectful, professional, and committed individuals

After submitting your application and audition tape, our panel of industry experts and community leaders will review all submissions. If selected as a finalist, you will be notified by email and proceed to the next stage of the competition, which includes public voting, interviews, and training sessions. All official correspondence will originate exclusively from email addresses ending in @tlnmediagroup.com or @salsaintoronto.com. Any other email addresses should be regarded as unauthorized and not genuine.

Applications are evaluated based on a combination of factors, including hosting abilities, creativity, digital presence, community engagement, and ability to work a crowd. Finalists will be chosen based on their overall fit for the role of Salsa Ambassador.

Events take place primarily in Toronto, including Salsa on St. Clair, Salsa at Blue Mountain, and Salsa Tremblant. However, ambassadors may also be involved in events in other provinces as part of our nationwide outreach.
