Rueda Exchange Festival 2023

LAfrique is proud to host the 2023 Rueda Exchange Festival on June 24 and 25 2023!

This 2-day festival is for Salsa Cubana dancers, Rueda enthusiasts and Rueda dance groups. The purpose of this event is to mingle with other Rueda dancers, learn new figures, exchange patterns, participate in workshops from known Rueda instructors and just have fun.

After a full day of workshops and socializing we end with a party with DJ Rafi, demo's and animations.

On Sunday we continue the fun with 3 rounds of workshops and we end with a matinee with dj Rafi, Rueda demos and live music from Septeto Trio Los Dos.
