About Aix Riviera Latina
Aix Riviera Latina: Latin Fever at the Casino Grand Cercle
Since 2020, the Aix Riviera Latina Festival has established itself as a major event on the French Latin dance scene. Located in the heart of Aix-les-Bains, in the historic salons of the Casino Grand Cercle, this festival offers an exceptional setting for practicing and discovering Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances.
A Dense and Varied Program
The festival unfolds over four days, from Wednesday to Saturday, with a double daily program. During the day, from 10 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., intensive classes are offered by about twenty specialized instructors, covering all Latin disciplines: Cuban and Puerto Rican salsa, son cubano, rumba, yoruba (Afro-Cuban), rueda de casino, reggaeton, salsa styling, bachata (sensual, fusion, Dominican), traditional and urban kizomba, and semba.
Each evening, starting at 9 p.m., the Salon Victoria transforms into a giant dance floor with fiery DJ parties where participants put into practice the steps learned during the day. The warm and friendly atmosphere attracts both beginners and experienced dancers.
An Exceptional Setting
The Salon Victoria of the Casino Grand Cercle offers a unique setting for a dance festival. This historic venue, with its ornate ceilings, chandeliers, and period parquet floor, adds a magical dimension to the Latin evenings. The contrast between the splendor of the Belle Époque and the warmth of Latin rhythms creates an incomparable atmosphere.
A Growing Festival
Edition after edition, the festival has seen remarkable growth. The 6th edition in 2025 offered 45 hours of classes with 11 instructors and 8 DJs. The 7th edition in 2026 marks a milestone with 54 hours of classes, 19 instructors, and 13 DJs, demonstrating the growing attractiveness of the event on the European Latin scene.
