Community Invited To Conga Kids Spring Dance Championship May 23

WHO:

Nearly 3500 fifth grade students from 35 schools throughout Los Angeles County will vie for the title of Conga Kids Spring Dance Champion. Out of all the participating students, nearly 170 students will dance their way at Microsoft Square at L.A. Live on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 for the championship trophy.

Founder and co-owner of The Conga Room, Brad Gluckstein, created Conga Kids as a 501(c)(3) non-profit arm of the Conga Room, LA’s renowned music and dance venue. The transformative dance curriculum develops students’ creative potential and sets a foundation of respect, teamwork, confidence and leadership.

Conga Kids utilizes a standards-based program that teaches students five partnership dances (e.g., Merengue, Swing, Salsa, Tango, and Fox Trot). Participating school districts include Los Angeles Unified, Beverly Hills Unified, Lynwood Unified, Pomona Unified, Mountain View and El Monte City School Districts.

Following the dance championship, a fundraising gala for Conga Kids will be held at The Conga Room in support of next year’s countywide program. To donate to Conga Kids and to participate in the fundraising gala, visit the “Donate” tab on congakids.com.
