Be a part of Seattle’s biggest summer dance party! From July 12 through 15, join La Clave Cubana and The Whole U for Seattle Cuban Dance Fest 2018, the first and only festival dedicated to showcasing Cuban traditional dances!

This year’s line-up includes some of the finest Cuban dance instructors on the West Coast with 4 days of social dancing, world-class performances, live percussionists, live Cuban bands, dance classes and more!

Weekend festivities kick off on Thursday July 12th with a party at Club Sur. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday participants will have the opportunity to take up to 10 different dance classes including Afro-Cuban, Casino, Rueda Casino, Rumba, Timba, Salsa Suelta, and Reggaeton.

Participants will have their choice of 1 of 3 class options each hour. Class levels range from beginner to advanced, so all are encouraged to join the fun! Each day will conclude with an evening dance celebration followed by social night at Club Sur (21+).

The best part besides the fact that much of the Fest will take place on UW’s Seattle campus is that UW staff, faculty, and friends can maximize their weekend experience with an all-access pass for a special discounted rate of $130!
