The festival of Latin dances in the heart of Aix-les-Bains
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.
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.
