If you’ve ever crossed paths with the Seasunsalsa team, you already know her name. Ivona Bene, former TV journalist and producer, is the vibrant force whose storytelling instinct and stage presence never truly left her - and on Saturday night at Salsa Grand, she’s stepping back to the microphone where she shines most.
Beyond her TV days, Ivona is now the head of marketing and artist manager at Seasunsalsa, though most dancers simply know her as the heart that keeps the community smiling, moving, and coming back for more. Her energy is contagious, her presence unmistakable, and her talent for turning any moment into pure entertainment is her unofficial superpower.
At this year’s Salsa Grand, Ivona will take center stage as the host of the Saturday night Shows & Grand Gala Party, sharing the microphone with festival founder Vladimir Semenčić.
Together, they will guide the audience through an unforgettable evening - presenting the artists, firing up the crowd, and setting an atmosphere that will be very, very hard to cool down.
