About Trélazé Salsa Festival
Trélazé Salsa Festival: Latin Fever in Anjou
For over ten years, the Trélazé Salsa Festival has been setting the Salle Aragon in Trélazé alight with the rhythms of salsa, bachata, and kizomba. Organized by the association Pôle Latino's 49, this event has become one of the largest Latin dance festivals in Western France, attracting enthusiasts from all over Europe.
An Intensive Program
The festival offers a packed program over three to four days: 40 workshops led by international dancers and choreographers, spread across three themed rooms (salsa, bachata, kizomba). The evenings are organized on three simultaneous dance floors, with specialized DJs playing sets until the early morning.
The musical highlight of the festival is the live concert on Saturday evening, featuring renowned orchestras. The 10th-anniversary edition notably hosted Orquesta Elito Revé y su Charangón, a legendary Cuban band on its European tour.
An International and Friendly Atmosphere
The Trélazé Salsa Festival is known for its warm and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Beginner and experienced dancers come together in a spirit of sharing and camaraderie, where dance is a universal language. The festival also offers food stalls, a bar, relaxation areas, and massage services, for a weekend entirely dedicated to Latin dances.
A Dynamic Association
The Pôle Latino's 49 association, based in Trélazé, works year-round to promote Latin dances in Anjou. Weekly classes, workshops, and parties complement the festival's offerings, making Trélazé a recognized hub for Latin dances in the Grand Ouest region. Founded in 2014, the association brings together a passionate community of dancers of all levels, who regularly meet to practice and share their love for Latin dance.
