Latin Dance Community Day

For years, our Labor Day Beach Party has been a tradition shared with Latin Street students.

This year, we’re opening it up to the entire Chicago Latin dance community.

Join us for a relaxed day by the lake with social dancing, sun, grilling, food, friends, and one last summer celebration together.

No dress code. No cover.

Just bring what you need for a day at the beach and come spend Labor Day with the community.
