The Top 3

These instructors combine rare skill, strong work habits, and stand-out performance and could be teaching one, two, or three workshops in addition to giving you a performance on Saturday night.
It's Where New and Old Friends Meet
With four genres, it's easy to understand why we're shoulder-to-shoulder with the largest Latin dance festivals in the west coast.
Clocked in at 1,643 attendees in 2025 for just our second year, we are on-pace to remain one of the most-attended Latin dance festivals by dancers.
