Claremont Spring Dance Festival

The Claremont Colleges Ballroom Dance Company is proud to present its second dance festival of the year! After our successful Claremont Dance Festival in the fall we were overwhelmed by requests to do something similar this spring.

The event will take place April 3rd and 4th with classes during the day and events at night.

Friday night will be a SALSA NIGHT, featuring a lesson from 8-9 and dancing from 9-12, including some salsa in the rueda (circle dancing) style which will be taught earlier that day.

Saturday night will be the annual SWING JAM, featuring a LIVE BAND and a lesson at 8, dancing 9-12.

The weekend will have a bigger focus on the classes and parties and less on performances by the company. For those, come to our spring Concert May 1st-3rd!
