Visiting Albuquerque

The city of Albuquerque can pride itself on being one of the most amiable North American cities for Spanish speakers–according to a recent North American poll comprised of Hispanic readership. Albuquerque is the ideal host for a regional event such as ours because it boasts such a proportionately large Latino population along with a prominent Spanish speaking culture and heritage.

Yes! We bring something uniquely different to the otherwise cookiecutter dance festival formula parleyed around the world. No, we don’t just hole-up in one hotel for four nights and three days, like most do, offering workshops and internationally renowned instructors and performances one after the other. Although we do offer three full days of workshops, ABQ LDF is a series of salsa dance parties that show-off different parts of Albuquerque and a variety of Latin dance forms.  The Albuquerque Latin Dance Festival will immerse you in a few enchanted places in our city—Old Town, The Old Town Plaza and Downtown at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. But please, come a little early and stay a little while longer to avail yourselves to the beauty that is New Mexico.
