The California Dance Festival is a vibrant celebration of dance, featuring salsa, bachata, hip hop, Swing and other dance styles. It brings together thousands of dance enthusiasts from all over the world for workshops, performances, social dancing, and cultural exchange.

The festival is open to everyone. Whether you're a complete beginner, an experienced dancer, or just a lover of Latin, Swing or Hip-Hop music and culture, there's something for everyone.

While the event is designed for adults, all ages are welcome. If a child wishes to take classes just know that they will be alongside other adults. Parental supervision is encouraged.

Comfortable clothing and dance shoes or light sneakers are highly recommended. For dance workshops, consider bringing a water bottle, towel, and extra shirts. For the nightly social dances and performances, many attendees enjoy dressing up especially for the themed nights listed on our website.

A dance partner is not necessary. Workshops and social dances are excellent opportunities to meet and dance with different people while making new friends. Classes rotate partners, however if you want to dance with a select partner, that is also allowed.

Workshops are categorized by level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) to help you select the best fit for your skills. If you're unsure, feel free to ask the instructors for guidance.

Taking photos for personal use is permitted, however please stay out of designated media areas in front of the stage during performances.
