Maraca in Juneau! Simply Amazing!
The third annual Juneau DanceFest will take place August 29 to September 1, 2008 (Labor Day weekend). There will be a wide variety of dance classes offered during the day, followed by incredible live music in the evenings. The headliner band, playing the Saturday night dance, is the world-famous Cuban salsa band Maraca. The Seattle swing band Blue 4 Trio will open the festival on Friday night, back for their second DanceFest gig. Our awesome line-up of instructors includes:
- Colette Hebert and Richard Council of Miami (teaching Argentine Tango);
- Felix Bambury Webbe of Cuba and Fairbanks (teaching Afro-Cuban Folklore and Cuban salsa) and
-Rachel Lidskog of Portland (teaching hustle and swing).
Juneau's talented roster of local instructors will offer additional classes in cha cha, rueda, waltz, hula, belly dance, country two-step, hip-hop, and more. The evening dances will be highlighted with choreographed dance performances.
