*Community
What makes Rumbia different isn't just the dancing.
It's the people.
Our goal has always been to create a festival where everyone feels welcome, regardless of experience, age or where they come from.
We believe the best festivals aren't measured by how many classes you take.
They're measured by the conversations you have, the friendships you make and the memories you create.
