Event Description

Reggaeton dance is a passionate, rhythmic style with Caribbean and hip-hop roots, emphasizing hips and body isolations, all driven by the dembow beat, a percussion loop that’s central to reggaeton music. It’s popular in clubs for its energetic, expressive nature. 

No dance experience needed— all skill levels are welcome in this inclusive, cross-cultural community experience.

6 – 7 PM (check-in 5:30 – 6 PM)

Doors Open 5:45 PM

Exhibition Hall, Monona Terrace

Free ticket required for admission (18+) - Secure ticket through Eventbrite
